The Fourth of July is a summer standout — and for good reason. It’s a federal holiday smack dab in the middle of summer and when the calendar works in your favor (like this year), it gives you a three-day weekend for fun festivities.
But it's not just an extra day off from work. July Fourth commemorates the date in 1776 that the Founding Fathers ratified the U.S. Declaration of Independence, officially marking America’s independence from Britain. Since then, we’ve been celebrating Independence Day with fireworks, parties, parades and backyard barbecues.
The sky's the limit when it comes to things to do on the Fourth of July. While you can always post an inspiring Fourth of July quote on Instagram and call it a day, these family-friendly activities are way more fun.
If you haven't made any plans yet, don't worry. We've rounded up all the best things to do with your family, other couples and friends, whether you're hoping to stay home or hit the road. From attending a baseball game to whipping up a Fourth of July feast, check out these festive ideas to host your most star-spangled celebration yet.
Watch a fireworks display
If you're wondering if there are fireworks near you, there probably are! On the off chance that there aren't any, you can always watch some on TV or take matters into your hands by picking up fireworks at the store, depending depending on which state you live in. Even a pack of sparklers will help make your celebration feel more festive.
Try a new restaurant
Not all restaurants are open on July Fourth, but the ones that are will definitely appreciate your business. Do some homework and find somewhere you’ve never been before. It’s a fun Fourth of July activity, especially for anyone who would rather have someone else handle the cooking.
Go on picnic
You can’t go wrong with packing up a basket and going on a picnic. Make a few of your favorite finger foods beforehand, whip up an array of red, white and boozy cocktails, and find a scenic spot to enjoy 'em.
Visit a historical landmark
Even if you're far from the nation's capitol, you can still find a local historical landmark to visit on July Fourth. While some landmarks may be closed for the holiday, plenty of others remain open and you might uncover some interesting history right in your own backyard.
Make a Fourth of July recipe
It doesn't get any better than a red, white and blueberry pie — especially on the Fourth of July. Try a new recipe (or two) and put together an on-theme feast. Right before you grab a bite, take a picture of your creation and post it on social media to show off your skills.
Attend a baseball game
What better way to spend July Fourth than at a baseball game? Load up the whole family and enjoy an afternoon at the ballpark. Bring on the hotdogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks!
Take a trip to New York City
There’s nothing quite like watching fireworks light up the Statue of Liberty. Catch the display on TV or check it out in person. There are celebrations across the Big Apple throughout the long weekend, so you're bound to find something to do.
Make Fourth of July-inspired crafts
Get the whole family involved and make a patriotic craft to celebrate America’s birthday. It doesn’t need to be complicated — just pick up some iron-on decals at the craft store to make festive t-shirts or craft a star-studded wreath to hang on your front door.
Watch a Fourth of July movie or documentary
If the weather rains out your big Fourth of July plans, host an indoor movie marathon instead. Show a summer blockbuster like "Jaws" or “Independence Day." Or turn it into a teaching moment by playing a documentary about how the Founding Fathers ratified the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It's your call!
Go the beach
While going to the beach for the Fourth of July is hardly an original suggestion, shake things up by finding a new spot to call your own for the holiday. Wherever you end up, a day of sun, sand and ice cream never gets old.
Visit Washington D.C.
Named after the OG Founding Father himself, Washington is the place to be to get all the patriotic feels on the Fourth of July. Plan a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon, the birthplace of George Washington, or stay in the city center and visit all of the monuments. Just make sure you stick around long enough to watch the epic fireworks show on the National Mall.
Play outdoor games
Got water balloons? Break ‘em out. Badminton? Set it up. Cornhole? You know the drill. It's summer, so soak up the sunshine and play some backyard games with your family and friends. Whether it’s a chill game of croquet or nine innings of backyard baseball, it’s your time to shine and show the rest of the family who’s boss.
Create a care package
Fourth of July is a celebratory occasion, but it's also a moment to show your thanks to the people who make your freedoms a reality. Turn your thoughts into actions by sending packages to active members of the military and their families. Organizations like Soldiers' Angels offer guidance on what to send, everything from non-perishable food to toiletries to symbols of the home that they miss.
Attend a concert
So many summer concerts, so little time! July Fourth is the height of the season and between music festivals, concerts and other organized outdoor events, you’d be remiss to not attend at least one. Instead of hanging out at home, throw a couple of lawn chairs in the trunk and enjoy the music.
Decorate your home
Show Uncle Sam some love by decorating your house — indoors and out — with festive lights, flags and other Fourth of July decorations. It should come as no surprise that a red, white and bleu makeover will get everybody in the spirit.
Go swimming
If you've got a pool, have a party. Period. If you don’t, call your friends with the aforementioned pool and invite yourself over (kindly, of course). Be those people and show up wear matching Fourth of July swimsuits. You won’t be sorry.
Jam out to a Fourth of July playlist
Set the soundtrack for your celebration by making a patriotic playlist, including favorites like Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the U.S.A" and Katy Perry’s "Firework." Don’t forget to sprinkle in a few classics — "The Star-Spangled Banner," perhaps?
Get a patriotic mani-pedi
Although most nail salons will be closed on Independence Day, you can still treat yourself to a spa day in the days leading up to July Fourth. Whatever activities you’ve got planned for the holiday, make sure to put your nails on full display.
Host a cookout
OK, you don't need us to tell you to do this — but we'll do it anyway. Even though it's an obvious choice, you can't deny that everyone loves filling up on hamburgers, hotdogs and other cookout staples on a hot summer day. Even if you don't or own a grill, many parks and public spaces have them, so pack a cooler and enjoy this summer staple.
Plan a 1776 party
If you're feeling positively revolutionary this Fourth of July, then travel back in time and host a 1776-themed party. Invite everyone over, dress up in powdered wigs and fancy attire, and play a bunch of drum and fife tunes. Finish off the day with a singalong screening of "Hamilton."
Attend a Fourth of July parade
Marching bands, firetrucks and people tossing candy scream "America" — don't ya think? Good news: Just about every small town in America has a Fourth of July parade, so you shouldn't have any problems finding one nearby.
Play board games
Mother Nature has a mind of her own, which means you may have to pivot and spend the day inside hiding from the raining. Board games are a solid option when the weather isn't cooperating. It gives everyone a break from technology and might just start a new family tradition.

In the bottom of the third, with two outs and a runner on first, Kendra Couture hit a double over the head of the left fielder, driving in the first run of the game. The very next batter, Ellia Zimmerman followed that up with a bomb of her own into left field, driving in Couture and making it to third, giving the Flyers a 2-0 lead.
The following inning, the Flyers would get two quick outs, but the Cardinals tied it up following a grounder that just made it past the outstretched glove of a Flyers infielder. The Cardinals were threatening to take the lead but a quick snag of a ground ball by Avery Threlkeld and a throw to first ended the inning.
Avery Anderson started off the bottom of the fourth with a bang. She launched the ball into the outfield clearing the fence by 10 feet for a solo home run, giving the Flyers the lead once more. They were unable to get much going after that.
The Cardinals would answer back by scoring five runs in their next at-bat, giving themselves a comfortable 7-3 lead.
The Flyers attempts to regain some momentum were unsuccessful, as the Cardinals got three outs in five batters.

Alexandria was able to put the game farther out of reach, scoring four more runs in the top of the seventh, giving the Flyers an up-hill battle to fight if they were to win.
The Flyers started off their final at-bat by driving in two runs, courtesy of a Zimmerman line drive double that flew past a diving shortstop and even past the left fielder. A single by Threlkeld and a walk for Anderson loaded the bases. Avie Podraza drove in a run with a single, bringing the score to 11-6. The Cardinals were able to get the final out before the Flyers could secure their come from behind victory.

New Parliament by October, Central Vista Avenue by mid-June, says Puri
Union housing and urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said that construction of the new Parliament building and the Central Vista Avenue will be completed by October and mid-June.
Addressing a press conference to highlight the achievement of the Modi government as it completes eight years, Puri said, “We wanted to hold the January 26 parade on Central Vista Avenue and succeeded. Due to the severity of winter, other problems and Covid restrictions, there has been some delay… It will be completed in 10 days or so. Our main focus now is on the Parliament building which will be completed before the winter session.”
The construction work of Central Vista Avenue was to be completed before the Republic Day parade.
While work on the three Common Central Secretariat buildings and the Vice President’s house is going on, a senior ministry official said, “The next project to be taken up is the construction of MP chambers, which will come up where Transport Bhawan is located.”
The offices in Transport Bhawan will be shifted to two buildings that are being constructed at KG Marg.
The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) recently reinvited bids for the construction and maintenance of the Executive Enclave, which will include the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), India House, Cabinet Secretariat, and National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS). Bids for ₹1,160-crore Executive Enclave were first invited in November last year and were opened in March. Ahluwalia Contracts India Limited emerged as the lowest bidders for the project.
As per the tender document, the project cost has increased from ₹1,160 crore to ₹1,316 crore. A senior official said, “The project cost has gone up as the scope of work has been increased.”
The redevelopment of the ₹608-crore Central Vista Avenue, part of the Centre’s ₹13,500 crore Central Vista redevelopment project, started in February last year. Under the project, Rajpath and the area along it between Vijay Chowk to India Gate is being redeveloped. The project’s initial deadline was December 2021.
The work involves construction of four pedestrian underpasses, eight amenity blocks, relaying of Rajpath and construction of pathways along it and in the lawns, improving the canals and constructing 16 permanent bridges over them, and the construction of underground utility ducts for electric and other cables etc.
CPWD officials said that they faced many challenges in completing the work. “The pace of work was affected due to the second and third waves of Covid. Work had to be stopped due to unprecedented rain last year. For the Republic Day parade, special arrangements were made and then we restarted the work. It took some time to mobilise resources,” said a CPWD official.

A new renewable gas project is being launched in Prince George, marking the first of its kind in northern B.C.
FortisBC announced Wednesday (June 1) that it is teaming up with the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George to produce renewable natural gas using the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill.
The 20-year contract project expects to produce approximately 90,000 gigajoules of natural gas a year – enough energy to meet the annual needs of approximately 1,000 homes.
Joe Mazza, vice president, energy supply and resource development at FortisBC. said in a news release that the project is part of the province’s CleanBC roadmap, which is set to accelerate the transition towards renewable and low carbon energy, including carbon-neutral renewable gas and hydrogen.
Renewable gas is created by capturing and purifying methane from when bacteria breaks down organic waste from sources such as landfill sites, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. As it’s derived from organic sources, renewable gas does not contribute any net carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
It also mixes seamlessly into existing natural gas infrastructure, displacing conventional natural gas and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as a result. | https://www.100milefreepress.net/news/northern-bcs-first-renewable-natural-gas-project-starts-2024/ | 2022-06-02T19:18:54Z | https://www.100milefreepress.net/news/northern-bcs-first-renewable-natural-gas-project-starts-2024/ | false | 10 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of students who attended the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain will automatically get their federal student loans canceled, the Biden administration says, aiming to bring closure to one of the most notorious cases of fraud in American higher education.
Anyone who attended the now-defunct chain from its founding in 1995 to its collapse in 2015 will get his or her federal student debt wiped clean. The move will erase $5.8 billion in debt for more than 560,000 borrowers, in what the Education Department said was the largest single loan discharge ever.
“As of today, every student deceived, defrauded and driven into debt by Corinthian Colleges can rest assured that the Biden-Harris Administration has their back and will discharge their federal student loans,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Wednesday. “For far too long, Corinthian engaged in the wholesale financial exploitation of students, misleading them into taking on more and more debt to pay for promises they would never keep.”
Tens of thousands of former Corinthian students were already eligible for debt cancellation, but they had to file paperwork and navigate an application process that advocates say is confusing and not widely known. Now, the relief will be made automatic and extended to additional borrowers.
Those with a remaining balance on their Corinthian debt will also get refunds on payments already made, department officials said. But the action does not apply to loans paid in full.
At its peak, Corinthian was one of the largest for-profit college companies. It had more than 100 campuses and more than 110,000 students at its Everest, WyoTech and Heald schools.
The company shut down in 2015 amid widespread findings of fraud.
The Obama administration — working with now-Vice President Kamala Harris, who was California attorney general at the time — found that scores of campuses were falsifying data on the success of their graduates. In some cases, the schools reported that students had found jobs in their fields of study even though they were working at grocery stores or fast food chains.
Students commonly told investigators they were pressured to enroll with promises of lucrative employment, only to end up with huge sums of debt and few job prospects. Federal officials found that the company falsely told students their course credits could be transferred to other colleges.
The case inspired a federal crackdown on for-profit colleges, and the Obama administration promised to forgive loans for Corinthian students whose programs lied about job placement rates. That administration went on to expand a process known as borrower defense to repayment, which allows any defrauded student to apply for debt cancellation.
But an explosion in applications for debt forgiveness, along with political battles over the process, created a yearslong backlog in the process, leaving many former Corinthian students still awaiting relief.
The Trump administration generated blowback when it started granting only partial loan cancellation to defrauded students, giving lower levels of relief to those with higher incomes. Former Corinthian students sued over the change. A federal judge halted the policy and ordered the Education Department to stop collecting payments on Corinthian debt.
The Biden administration later announced full cancellation for all Corinthian students who had been given only partial forgiveness, but thousands of others were left waiting for the department to process their relief applications.
As of December, the department reported it had more than 109,000 pending applications from students alleging fraud by their colleges, mostly in the for-profit industry. Borrowers and their advocates have urged the government to erase all Corinthian debt, saying evidence of misconduct was so widespread that all the chain’s students were the victims of fraud.
The administration’s announcement on the Corinthian debt cancellation comes as President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure to enact broader student loan forgiveness for millions of people. As a candidate, Biden said he supports forgiving $10,000 in student loans for all borrowers. He later indicated that such action should come through Congress, but the White House has said he is considering whether to pursue it through executive action.
Advocates said the government’s decision on Corinthian brings long-delayed justice.
“This is a tremendous student victory, and it belongs to the tens of thousands of borrowers who were cheated and abused by Corinthian Colleges,” said Eileen Connor, director of the Project on Predatory Student Lending, which has represented Corinthian students in lawsuits. “They never stopped fighting — over three administrations — for the justice they deserve under the law.”
Libby DeBlasio Webster, senior counsel for the advocacy group Student Defense, called it a “fresh start” for former Corinthian students, but she noted that many defrauded students from other for-profit colleges are awaiting help.
She said she hopes the news “is a sign that other decisions are on the horizon for thousands of similarly situated students who are waiting for this kind of relief,” she said.
Former Corinthian student Nathan Hornes said the chain was “absolute joke of a school,” recalling how he was once instructed to play a board game as the final exam for a class at Everest Institute’s Los Angeles campus. Hornes had his debt forgiven in 2017 through the borrower defense process, but his sister Natasha is among the 560,000 former Corinthian students now getting cancellation.
“My sister and all the others who went through the same experience of being cheated by Corinthian finally get to experience the same relief of having the financial burden lifted,” he said in a statement. “They deserve that too, and I’m so glad that today they finally get to feel that freedom.”
A for-profit college trade group said students who are deceived by their colleges deserve relief, but that Corinthian’s actions “do not represent all private career schools.”
“The (Education) Department and others should not conflate the actions of one organization with an entire sector that has provided opportunities for millions of students and contributed to our nation’s workforce,” said Jason Altmire, president and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities.

Francie Molloy MP.
Sinn Féin MP, Francie Molloy has said the DUP boycott of Stormont is preventing the extension of free school meal payments for children and families over the summer months.
The Mid Ulster MP said: “Ordinary working families are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis now more than ever and the decision by the DUP to stop the Executive from having the ability to make critical choices, such as the extension of free school meal payments over school holidays is shameful.
“Sinn Féin’s priority is to get the Executive up and running and put money in the pockets of workers and families. We have tabled a motion to recall the Assembly in a bid to make this happen.
“I am hugely concerned about children who currently are set to miss out on free school meals over the summer months as the Department of Education has confirmed that there is no funding in place to allow this scheme to continue this summer, when families are truly struggling more than ever.
“Our children do not deserve to be collateral damage due to the DUPs failure to accept democracy.
“Thankfully, we have some fantastic community initiatives out there through our social café’s, such as Café Connects in Stewartstown or our youth clubs, like Ógra’s and charities such as Saint Vincent de Paul or the Link in Maghera who are doing amazing work to identify and help children out where they can.”
He added: “It is unacceptable that the DUP signed in for their salaries just last week to then walk away from the issue of providing around 100,000 children in the north with meals, so they do not go hungry during the summer months. It is a priority that the DUP sort this out before the holidays begin at the end of June.”

TERRY GROSS, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. Our critic at large, John Powers, says you've never seen a medical show like the new British TV series "This Is Going To Hurt." It stars Ben Whishaw as a young doctor working for the National Health Service in a London maternity ward. The show premieres today on AMC+ and Sundance Now. Here's John's review.
JOHN POWERS, BYLINE: Medical shows, like cop shows, are about finding a way to set the world right. Dr. Gregory House figures out the baffling disease. The staff at "ER's" County General saves the victims of that wintry freeway pileup. While the patients don't always make it, these shows make us feel that despite assorted snafus, our hospitals are staffed by sturdy doctors who will give us good care. Things take a very different turn in the new British TV series "This Is Going To Hurt." Based on a hit memoir by Adam Kay, who also wrote the script, this seven-part show stars the brilliant Ben Whishaw as a young doctor working in the OB-GYN ward of a London hospital. Although you may initially think the show a comedy, it deepens to tell a painful story about the assembly line nature of modern medicine. Whishaw plays Adam, a harried junior doctor who spends his days dealing with crises at a chaotically underfunded and understaffed public hospital. Smart, prickly and self-contained, he often talks directly to the audience. He's the sort of well-bred guy who overrates his own abilities.
Indeed, we're just starting to enjoy Adam's sardonic barbs when suddenly everything pivots. At the end of an exhausting shift, he makes a terrible mistake, a mistake so serious it could end his career. As if that weren't bad enough, he's essentially alone. Between his perpetual busyness and his bottled up nature, things are strained with his boyfriend, Harry - that's Rory Fleck Byrne - a man as sunny and loose as Adam is dark and impacted. Making him even more isolated, he still hasn't come out to his colleagues or his parents, in particular his mother, a woman so hypercritical that she's played by Harriet Walter, who you'll recognize as Logan Roy's icy-hearted English ex-wife on "Succession."
Adam spends most of his waking hours with an intern named Shruti, played by the terrific Ambika Mod, who's the British-born daughter of Indian immigrants. At first, she seems like an amusingly downtrodden sidekick. But as the plot unfolds, Shruti's role keeps expanding, and we grasp that in some profound sense, she is Adam's alter ego. Here, early on, she chases the striding Adam down a hallway in a desperate attempt to get him to mentor her.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "THIS IS GOING TO HURT")
AMBIKA MOD: (As Shruti) Adam, Adam, do you think I'm rubbish?
BEN WHISHAW: (As Adam Kay) Look, I wasn't great on my first week either.
MOD: (As Shruti) I've been here two months.
WHISHAW: (As Adam Kay) Two months.
MOD: (As Shruti) Well, I just haven't had a chance to do much hands-on stuff yet.
WHISHAW: (As Adam Kay) How many babies have you delivered?
MOD: (As Shruti) Um...
WHISHAW: (As Adam Kay) No babies have needed delivery in two months.
MOD: (As Shruti) Everyone's always too busy to teach me.
WHISHAW: (As Adam Kay) You just need to be less of a wallflower. It's dog eat dog in this place. And the dogs eat wallflowers.
POWERS: Now, "This Is Going To Hurt" is fast, superbly acted and stingley smart about issues like government-funded hospitals, the difference between private and public health care and what patients should reasonably expect of doctors. It's also deeply unsettling. Kay's portrait of a child birth ward has none of the reassuring coziness of, say, "Call The Midwife." Frazzled doctors, annoying patients, emergency caesareans and rivers of blood - this is not a show I'd urge a pregnant woman to tune in to.
What makes it dramatically unsettling is that Adam is not very likeable. We expect him to be, but it is played by the endlessly watchable Whishaw, who's known for creating sympathetically vulnerable characters, from the poet John Keats' in Paddington the bear to Shakespeare's Richard II and Q in the James Bond movies. It takes a while for us to realize it, but Adam hides his own vulnerability beneath a shell of entitlement and intellectual superiority, which can be toxic for his loved ones, his colleagues, his patients and himself. In fact, Adam's unlikeability isn't a flaw in the show but one of its reasons for being. At one point, he says that he used to think he was good at doctoring but bad at everything else in life.
Over the course of the series, Adam learns that if he's to survive in the cauldron of a public hospital and to be genuinely good as a doctor, he needs to get good at being human, too. Of course, it's hard to stay human and sane when every day you encounter a tsunami of patients with needs, pains, fears and often angry demands, and you are responsible for their well-being. That's why this show isn't ultimately about Adam and Shruti. It's about the mental health of medical professionals who often work to the bone with insufficient support, must constantly make fast, life-altering decisions, then keep themselves from becoming psychologically ravaged. "This Is Going To Hurt" reminds us that the people getting hurt in our medical system are also those giving care.

Scott Schweitzer -- coach of a 23-10 team from suburban Cincinnati -- doesn't look at Campbell County's first-round state tournament opponent as just a five-games-under-.500 club from the mountains.
The Camels have too much in common with Johnson Central for that, he said.
"They're very similar, I think, in what they are in the 15th Region," Schweitzer said of the Golden Eagles. "They're a big school, they have a lot more kids than most of the schools down there, and it's the same thing as we have up here. We're a big school in a smaller region.
"When you have the kids show up and you put a program out there and it works, the kids buy in, it does good things. At Johnson Central, I think coach (Shawn) Hall has done very similar things to what we've done."
The similarities include regularly playing for championships in their respective regions -- and winning their share of them.
Campbell County has played in the 10th Region Tournament final in five of the last six seasons, and the Camels have won four of them. The most recent was a 5-3 win over George Rogers Clark on Saturday in Cynthiana.
Johnson Central competed in its eighth consecutive 15th Region Tournament title game on Saturday. The Golden Eagles won their fifth in that string in a 4-1 defeat of Lawrence County in Goody.
And for both schools, their recent windfall of region hardware has revitalized their programs by ending extended droughts from the state stage.
Johnson Central's 2014 region title was its first in seven years. Campbell County's interlude was considerably longer than that.
Until their run to the 2016 state championship game, the Camels hadn't been to a state tournament since 1989.
"Our kids have shown a lot of progress and movement through the years, and the program has changed so much over the last few years," said Schweitzer, in his 13th year in Claryville. "Our kids expect (region championships) now. When I took over here, I never thought that would ever be a statement, but it's become something that they expect to do."
So do the Golden Eagles, even if they graduated six seniors from the year before, or got off to their slowest start in nearly two decades.
After dropping four of five down the stretch to fall to nine games under .500 entering its regular-season finale, Johnson Central topped Floyd Central, 10-2, in that game, then beat Magoffin County 3-0 in the elimination round of the 57th District Tournament.
The Golden Eagles next fell to Paintsville, 11-3, in the district final, but rebounded to beat Belfry, Prestonsburg and Lawrence County in succession to get back to Lexington.
"I think they've just started playing for themselves," Hall said. "I don't think it's anything we did. We give them a little guidance, we try to motivate them and come up with a plan, but I really think they just wanted to do it for themselves. They're a really close group, they like each other and they play for each other."
Cameron Kelsey leads Johnson Central (16-21) at the plate with a .372 average as of the end of the regular season. Keygan Pelfrey is hitting .327 with 37 RBIs and 10 doubles, and Conner Lemaster is batting .306 with 19 RBIs. Bryce Spencer has a .372 average.
Pelfrey and Lemaster each have five home runs.
Johnson Central's Hunter Blevins carried a 3.18 ERA in 44 regular-season innings, with 44 strikeouts. Half of the 40 runs he allowed were unearned, contributing to a 2-8 record. Kelsey (2-6) threw 41 1-3 frames with 45 punchouts, and Lemaster posted a 3.68 ERA and 4-2 record with 63 strikeouts in 38 innings.
Eight Campbell County hitters with at least 49 at-bats are batting at least .301. Tops among them are Aydan Hamilton, a Kentucky commit hitting .490 with 26 runs and 21 RBIs. But he hasn't played since April 26 due to injury.
Hamilton was to visit the doctor on Thursday but was considered "unlikely" to be back today, Schweitzer said.
"But he is a 17-year-old kid, and they heal a lot faster than someone old and fat like me," he cracked.
Greg Vineyard is batting .367 with 46 runs and 28 RBIs. Zack Riley is hitting .393 with 32 RBIs, and Jacob Napier owns a .389 average.
Max Lause has a 2.18 ERA in 51 1-3 innings, with 43 strikeouts and a 6-3 record. Napier is 5-1, with a 3.17 ERA and 93 punchouts in 57 1-3 frames. Trent Sorgenfrei is 4-0 with a 2.90 ERA in 29 innings, and Zach Franzen has a 0.53 ERA and is 4-0 with two saves. He's fanned 35 hitters in 26 1-3 innings.
The Golden Eagles and Camels are meeting for the first time since 2017 -- a 3-2 Johnson Central victory in the Doc Morris Invitational in northern Kentucky -- and the third time since 2014. The Golden Eagles also beat Campbell County, 5-2, in 2016.
No suspensions expected
Johnson Central High School principal Justin Arms said Wednesday he does not expect suspensions for today's game to result from an incident involving the Golden Eagles and archrival Paintsville's baseball field over the weekend.
"Over the holiday weekend, our baseball facility was vandalized," Paintsville Independent Schools superintendent David Gibson said. "We immediately contacted local authorities and continue to work with them on the investigation."
According to Arms, the extent of the damage was "some field paint on the dirt, a bench turned upside down, second base pulled out of the sleeve and the medals on the field." That references 57th District Tournament runner-up medals left at the scene.
Paintsville beat Johnson Central in the district tournament final, 11-3, on May 18. The Golden Eagles went on to win the 15th Region Tournament, while the Tigers lost to Lawrence County in the region tournament semifinals.
Arms apologized to Paintsville and noted "at the end of the day (Johnson Central students) were wrong and should’ve never been there to begin with."
He added, though, that in Johnson Central's view, "some accusations were blown way out of proportion and some things that were being said were proven to be inaccurate by local law officials through their investigation. We are still cooperating with them and support their decisions that they make."

All three divisions of the 114th Annual Boys and 47th Annual Girls State Track and Field Tournament are back at Ohio State University’s Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on Friday and Saturday.
The Eastwood girls have three Division II qualifiers — junior Julia Sabo in the pole vault, junior Olivia Newsome in the discus and senior Ava Kiefer in the shot put.
“I am very excited for the three qualifiers as this will be a great experience and opportunity for them to compete at Jesse Owens Stadium,” Eastwood girls coach Nicole Sabo said. “Having all three divisions back at one location brings about a sense of excitement and an atmosphere that can’t be matched.”
Sabo advanced to state with a fourth-place pole vault of 11 feet. Beaumont senior Madyson Treharne won the pole vault at 11 feet, 6 inches, while Caledonia River Valley freshman Eva Moran and Tallmadge sophomore Kate Archer both cleared 11 feet.
“At regionals, Julia had to work through a little adversity on making some of the heights on second and third attempts,” coach Sabo, Julia’s mother, said.
“She has cleared those heights on numerous occasions and knew she was capable of clearing the heights need to qualify for the state meet. She has been practicing hard this week and is confident going into this competition.”
In a regional packed with many of the state’s top throwers, Newsome and Kiefer did not place in the top four at regionals, but both advanced as at-large qualifiers — Newsome in the discus (125-7) and Kiefer in the shot put (38-1½).
“Olivia and Ava had to wait to be sure they had qualified to the state meet as both earned one of the two at-large qualifying spots,” Nicole Sabo said.
“We were pretty confident after Thursday and Saturday’s (regional) competition but wanted to see their names on the qualifiers list before getting too excited.
“Both have been throwing very well lately and both are in a good position to make finals.”
On Sunday, Kiefer and Newsome will both be competing in the state hammer competition, which is also held at Jesse Owens Stadium, but will not score into team totals.
In the boys state meet, Eastwood junior Dalton Hesselbart qualified for the state D-II meet by finishing fourth in the pole vault (13-6) at the Lexington regional.
“It was a good regional as the fifth-place jumper made it as well as the at-large bid,” Eastwood boys coach Brian Sabo said.
“Clearing a PR (personal record) at the state meet is the goal. I told them I don’t actually care if they clear it or not, I want to see the intent, energy and drive to PR,” Brian Sabo said. “That may mean more to me than the actual clearance. It is also cool to be jumping at Jesse Owens again.” | https://www.sent-trib.com/sports/eastwood-sends-four-to-state-track/article_ddf59b02-e295-11ec-aeec-3b9872d277a7.html | 2022-06-02T19:28:10Z | https://www.sent-trib.com/sports/eastwood-sends-four-to-state-track/article_ddf59b02-e295-11ec-aeec-3b9872d277a7.html | false | 1 |
The emergence of Jordan Poole is one of the many reasons why the Golden State Warriors find themselves back in the NBA Finals. After playing in the G-League last year, the former first-round pick burst onto the scene as one of the league's most promising young talents.
In the regular season, Jordan Poole averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists. He has maintained this scoring output in the postseason, and doing so while shooting 53.1% from the field and 39.3% from beyond the arc.
When discussing the finals, FS1's Nick Wright picked Poole as someone who could be an X-factor for the Warriors. Though he did not pick him in the traditional sense. Wright worries that Poole might be overconfident heading into their matchup with the Celtics and it could hurt them.
"That would be the worst thing that could happen to the warriors if Jordan Poole is like this is my turn... I think they can overcome that and I think they can hide him on defence but if Jordan Poole every time he comes in the game is like it's 'Jordan Poole time' that would worry me for them so he's a potential x factor."

Should the Warriors be worried about an over-confident Jordan Poole in the NBA Finals?
Wright makes a valid argument in his segment, but it seems doubtful that this is something that will be a cause for concern as they gear up to face Boston. The main reason why they have been so successful for nearly a decade is because of the culture they have built.
Story continues below ad
When looking at the Golden State Warriors, everyone knows what their role is and what they need to do to help the team win. Even with Poole producing the way he has, their system does not allow for people to step out of line. Also, as the vocal leader of the team, Draymond Green would quickly interject if something like this were to start happening.
Poole should be an X-factor for Golden State, but for positive reasons. The Celtics' defense is going to be fully focused on slowing down Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. If Poole is able to make them pay with his scoring, it could shift the series in their favor. As one of the Warriors' top scorers all year, they will be relying on him to provide a punch on the offensive end.
Given the way the team operates, it would be shocking for Poole to change things up on the game's biggest stage. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-nick-wright-believes-jordan-poole-potential-x-factor-warriors-says-poole-wanting-jordan-poole-time-potential-worry | 2022-06-02T19:28:11Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-nick-wright-believes-jordan-poole-potential-x-factor-warriors-says-poole-wanting-jordan-poole-time-potential-worry | true | 1 |

Katie Hansen, Retail and eCommerce Analyst at Mintel, said:
"Social commerce is the next evolution of eCommerce and will benefit from Americans' heavy use of online shopping in recent years. As with the adoption of online shopping, it will take time for consumers to become comfortable purchasing items via social media, and even more time for them to do so on any kind of regular basis, but the category will see a boost as a result of increasing engagement from younger consumers as they grow into adulthood and earn more money. That said, social commerce will in no way replace traditional eCommerce or in-store shopping, but it will become a key part of their shopping repertoire," stated Hansen.
Security and trust remain big barriers to social commerce
While consumers are increasingly curious about social commerce, barriers such as data security and shipping hold some back from participating. Two in five (38%) consumers say they haven't made a purchase directly on a social media platform due to the lack of trust in the security of their payment information, while 23% say it's because they are worried they will never receive their purchase. This signals that education on social commerce is still needed.
"As with any new concept, consumers still need a fair amount of education and reassurance on the process, as they are concerned that their data might not be secure and/or that they'll never receive the item they purchase. Brands will need to demonstrate to consumers how shopping on social media is quite similar to shopping via a website or mobile app and how, in fact, social commerce can even further streamline the process," continued Hansen.
Consumers want to see themselves reflected in a brand
Mintel research shows that social media can be a seamless avenue for brands and consumers to connect. Consumers of varying backgrounds are interested in social commerce, most notable are parents with children under the age of 18 (81%), Millennials (81%), Gen Z (68%), and Black consumers (62%). What's more, nearly three in 10 Black (29%) and Asian (27%) consumers browse for products on social media but purchase on a website. This is true for around a quarter of White (24%) and Hispanic (21%) consumers. This showcases a notable percentage of consumers who are leaving social channels to make purchases and indicates how important it is for brands to represent consumers of all backgrounds to encourage a purchase.
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion actions are not a 'nice-to-have' but a 'must-have' these days if brands want to connect with consumers. Brands need to be sure they are making their social feed diverse to show consumers that it takes diversity seriously, cares about its consumers; and offers products and solutions that meet a list of diverse needs. This could entail social media posts featuring diverse models, talking about charitable efforts that support communities of color, or highlighting internal operations aimed to hire and promote employees of color.
"Consumers want to see themselves portrayed in brands' efforts as they are more likely to feel that the brand is for them, but a seamless, trustworthy experience is the first critical piece in encouraging them to shop. Brands should take note of this desire and make a conscious effort to highlight different individuals in their social posts in order to better connect with their consumers," concluded Hansen.

On this week’s episode of “Red Table Talk,” the hosts explore the devastating impact of alopecia in an informative and powerful episode streaming now on Facebook Watch.
This moving episode features the mother of 12-year-old Rio Allred, who suffered from alopecia and took her own life after being relentlessly mocked and bullied, who opens up about her daughter’s heart-crushing death. The episode also highlights former NBA player Charlie Villanueva speaks out about his hidden pain, a woman who worked in the hair industry for more than a decade reveals her emotional Alopecia journey and why it’s more than “just hair,” and top hair surgeon Dr. Meena Singh breaks down the different types of alopecia.
Jada Pinkett-Smith introduces the episode by addressing the Oscars incident between comedian Chris Rock and her husband and actor Will Smith.
“This is a really important “Red Table Talk” on alopecia,” she says. “Considering what I’ve been through and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories. I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is. Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need ’em both, and we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”
The conversation is obviously challenging for both Jada and their guests to speak about, but Jada reassures her Red Table Talk viewers of the significance of bringing awareness to their condition. She invites the alopecia community to share their story.
“One of the reasons why I thought this show was really important is because I had so much outreach from people who suffer from alopecia, have children who suffer from alopecia, and they don’t talk about it because there’s so much shame around it,” Jada shared.

Following the verdict of the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, the latter's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft revealed that they will appeal the ruling on behalf of Heard. According to her, the Aquaman star will not be able to pay the $8 million damages awarded to Depp.
Bredehoft appeared on the Today Show on Thursday, June 2, and made the revelation about Heard’s appeal. The attorney added how the actress has “excellent grounds” to appeal and will follow up accordingly. She told Savannah Guthrie in relation to the verdict:
"That's because she was demonized here...A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused."
On June 1, the jury decided mostly in favor of Depp by agreeing to all three counts of his claims. Meanwhile, the jury only agreed to Heard’s second count of her counterclaim, which fetched her $2 million in compensatory damages.

What did Amber Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft say about the actress’ plans to appeal?
Elaine Bredehoft claimed on the show that Depp had won since “enormous amounts of evidence was suppressed.” She further referred to the actor’s 2020 libel trial against The Sun publication after they referred to him as a “wife beater.” She said:
“Well, you know, really what happened here is it’s a tale of two trials. Johnny Depp brought a suit in the UK for the same case.”
Story continues below ad
The attorney explained how it would have been easier for Depp to win the 2020 libel trial as the burden of proof was with The Sun. However, at the time, the jury found Depp to have committed at least 12 counts of domestic violence against Heard. Elaine Bredehoft opined:
“So what did Depp’s team learn from this? Demonize Amber and suppress the evidence. We had an enormous amount of evidence that was suppressed in this case that was in the UK case. In the UK case when it came in, Amber won and Mr. Depp lost.”
Elaine Bredehoft also revealed that Amber Heard will be unable to pay the money awarded to Depp by the jury. Previously, Bredehoft had mentioned how Heard had to pay $6 million to attorneys after the divorce settlement, which had rendered her unable to pay her pledged $7 million to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Story continues below ad
What will happen if Amber Heard is unable to pay the damages amount to Johnny Depp?
As per the verdict of the trial, Heard is supposed to pay Johnny Depp $10.35 million in damages. Depp was initially awarded $10 million in compensatory damages along with $5 million in punitive damages. However, according to state laws in Virginia, there is a cap of $350,000 on the punitive damages.
If Amber Heard is unable to pay the amount, she can proceed with her plan of appealing the ruling of the Fairfax County Courthouse in Virginia. However, if the actress decides not to proceed with the appeal, Heard will have her current and future wages seized till the total amount is paid to Johnny Depp.
However, the 36-year-old star may also choose to file for bankruptcy, which could waive off her debt of $10.35 million to Depp. As per the bankruptcy law, if her actions are further proven to be “willful and malicious,” then she may not be able to get by this obligation. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/amber-heard-s-lawyer-elaine-bredehoft-reveals-actress-pay-damages-claims-social-media-influenced-jury-s-verdict | 2022-06-02T19:33:18Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/amber-heard-s-lawyer-elaine-bredehoft-reveals-actress-pay-damages-claims-social-media-influenced-jury-s-verdict | false | 1 |

Baby Colton makes his arrival in style at new birthing unit
Time waits for no baby and Colton Sim proved the point when he became the first baby to be born at Canterbury’s newest maternity unit.
Arriving at 2.15pm on Tuesday, the 3.676-kilogram baby boy was supposed to be delivered at St George’s Maternity Hospital in Christchurch, but his family’s best-laid plans did not account for staffing shortages.
Just 30 minutes after the new Oromairaki Rolleston Maternity Unit opened at 10am, Colton’s mum, Josephine Sim, was at home in central Christchurch undergoing a midwife check.
Much to everyone’s surprise Sim was already 5 centimetres dilated. After finding out St George’s was having staffing issues, her midwife joked that the Rolleston unit had just opened.

* First-time mother asked to leave hospital three hours after giving birth
* Midwives say applications to work at St George's met with silence
* Gemma and Richie McCaw back petition to save St George's birthing unit
But 30 minutes later it was no joke and Sim found herself in the new facility where staff were in the final stages of setting up.
After utilising a birthing pool, Sim delivered Colton three hours later. Both are healthy and now at home with Sim’s husband, Raymond, after a two-night stay in Rolleston.
The Rolleston facility is on the first floor of the new Toka Hāpai (Selwyn Health Hub) and includes two birthing suites with birth pools and an en suite, 10 post-natal rooms and a whānau room that includes a kitchen and dining area.
It’s hoped the facility will help take the pressure off other primary birthing facilities, including St George’s Maternity Hospital.
In March, the hospital proposed making changes to its maternity service, including the possibility of closing the unit altogether. On Tuesday, it announced it would stay open until the end of its current contract, in June 2023.
Tuesday also marked the closure of the 95-year-old Lincoln Maternity Unit. | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/128847048/baby-colton-makes-his-arrival-in-style-at-new-birthing-unit | 2022-06-02T19:40:01Z | https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/128847048/baby-colton-makes-his-arrival-in-style-at-new-birthing-unit | false | 1 |
HUWARA: Dozens of Israeli soldiers stood guard in the occupied West Bank town of Huwara, where the Palestinian flag was blowing in the warm breeze from an electricity pole.
Suddenly, a Jewish settler jumped from a car, hoisted himself up the pole and tore down the flag, to the fury of Palestinian onlookers.
The soldiers watched on, without intervening.
“Many martyrs fell for the sake of this flag, many people were killed,“ said Zafer al-Sayegh, a local store-owner. “It’s not possible for us to take it down.”
In recent weeks, the Israel-Palestinian conflict has flared with an intense wave of violence again, and so has the latest round of the “battle of the flags”.
As passions have become inflamed, Israelis have marched with the blue-and-white Star of David standard while for Palestinians the black, white and green flag with the red triangle has served as a symbol of defiance.
Unrest erupted at the funeral last month of American-Palestinian Al Jazeera TV journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, killed during an army raid in the West Bank, when Israeli police attacked mourners waving the flag.
This week, members of the Israeli parliament even announced plans to ban the flying of the Palestinian flag.
'Our dignity'
In Huwara, many storefronts have Hebrew writing, a reminder of more peaceful days when Jews would come to trade with Palestinians.
That goodwill has vanished, as Israelis living in nearby settlements, considered illegal by most of the international community, have repeatedly entered the town's outskirts to pull down Palestinian flags, angering residents and prompting clashes between Palestinians and the army.
The Palestinians say the army has stood by and watched, refusing to stop what they call settler provocations.
Today, the Israeli army has a heavy presence in Huwara.
The main roads into town are blocked with mounds of dirt and rubble, and squads of nervous soldiers patrol the back streets on foot, making Huwara look like a town under siege.
“They have made an issue of the Palestinian flag,“ Wajeh Odeh, a former mayor of the town, told AFP.
“To us, it’s a symbol. It means everything, it means our dignity, it means our right to defend ourselves against the Israelis.”
'Invent provocations'
The flag is also an issue in annexed east Jerusalem, which was captured by Israel in 1967.
At the funeral of Abu Akleh last month, Israeli police were filmed beating pallbearers as officers waded into crowds of mourners to tear down Palestinian flags.
In a rare scene that afternoon, east Jerusalem's Old City was awash with thousands of Palestinians defiantly waving the flag.
Two weeks later, tens of thousands of Israeli nationalists held their annual “flag march” through the same Old City, leaving it awash in blue and white to mark Israel’s 1967 capture of the eastern sector of the city.
It is not illegal to wave the Palestinian flag in Jerusalem, Laura Wharton, a liberal member of the city's municipality, told AFP, though the police regularly make arrests on the grounds that the flags are being used as a provocation.
She described the police’s crackdown on flags as an attempt by the Israeli far right to “invent provocations where there aren’t any”.
'Colours of enemy'
This week, Israel's parliament passed a preliminary vote on a bill proposed by right-wing Likud party lawmaker Eli Cohen to treat the Palestinian flag as the colours of an enemy state.
A description of the bill on parliament’s website said the Palestinian flag is being waved by “those who do not recognise the State of Israel” or who spell “an existential danger” to it.
It argues that the flag’s public display is therefore an act outside legitimate protest and “a red line not to be crossed”.
Cohen argued on Twitter that it was “time to end... incitement of hatred by strengthening our sovereignty”.
Wharton said the issue of flags is “spiralling” out of control.
“The more it is made a point of dispute with the ultra-right,“ she said, “the more the Palestinians, especially the youth, are using it to bait them.” - AFP | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/battle-of-flags-flares-in-israel-palestinian-conflict-YG9282265 | 2022-06-02T19:40:25Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/world/battle-of-flags-flares-in-israel-palestinian-conflict-YG9282265 | false | 5 |

Protecting sea turtle nests on Tybee Island
TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - Volunteers with Tybee Island’s sea turtle project say they’re on track to have a record-breaking season!
There have been 6 nests found since turtle season started in May. As the season goes on people will see more roped off areas scattered up and down the beach.
Chantal Audran with the Tybee Island Marine Science Center says there’s also been 6 false crawls which is when a turtle will crawl out but not make a nest and crawl back into the water. Audran says this indicates that there’s a lot of turtle activity.
The loggerhead turtle moms will make their way up into the sand at night, so Audran says people need to keep the beach clear of obstacles. When you pack up for the day she says to fill any holes you dug, don’t leave litter behind, and knock down any sandcastles.
After 9 p.m. it’s lights off on the beach and if you do take a night-time, walk don’t use a flashlight. Audran says sea turtles don’t have great eyesight, so any light can disorient them. It’s also important to not step on or dig up the area marked off.
“There’s 100 to 125 eggs in there doing their job and their growing, so we want to give them that space to do so. Then in about 50 to 70 days they’re going to hatch out of there and do the biggest job of all, try to get to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.”
Last year, there were a total of 17 nests on Tybee. Audran says they’re on track to have 20 or more. Statewide, already this season, Audran says there’s more than 1,000 nests.

Unreal Engine 5 looks like it will continue the legacy of Epic Games’ cutting edge gaming engines.
The new video shows just how powerful and complex it is, able to render decadent details like individual wisps of pollen blowing in the wind, or cheap white paint peeling back to reveal the rusting metal underneath. All of this is brilliantly rendered and it’s exactly the kind of graphical flex we should see from Fallout developer Bethesda going forward.
There’s even the train station demo that recently went viral, which is so photorealistic that until mid video, it’s easy to mistake it for real life. Seeing the potential already in the hands of casual developers, we're excited to see what this engine could do in the hands of an experienced development team.
And with games like Mass Effect 4 and The Witcher 4 being developed with Unreal Engine 5, they’re sure to feature stunning graphics and smooth gameplay unlike any we've seen before. Given what we’ve seen already, it’s a wonder why every game isn’t being made using this incredible tool. | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/this-amateur-fallout-unreal-engine-5-tech-demo-makes-the-wasteland-look-gorgeous | 2022-06-02T19:52:57Z | https://www.techradar.com/nz/news/this-amateur-fallout-unreal-engine-5-tech-demo-makes-the-wasteland-look-gorgeous | true | 6 |

Which Netgear Wi-Fi extender is best?
We all know the struggle of trying to stream shows, play games or just surf the web on bad Wi-Fi connections. It’s even worse when the bad connection is in your own home. With a Netgear Wi-Fi extender, you can ensure the same fast, stable speeds on the fringes of your house as you get when next to your router.
The best is the Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Range Extender EAX80. It’s built to serve large offices, so it won’t break a sweat serving your home.
What to know before you buy a Netgear Wi-Fi extender
AC number
On Netgear Wi-FI extenders, the AC or AX number is the sum total speeds that the extender can provide. For example, if the AC or AX number is 1,500, then all the devices connected to the extender share 1.5 gigabits per second worth of data speeds. This matters more the more devices you plan on connecting to the extender at once.
Size
Your Netgear Wi-Fi extender takes up space, just like your router and modem. Better extenders are typically large enough to require something to stand on, such as a small table — you could always place them on the floor, but there’s the risk of being kicked or stepped on. Small extenders are roughly the size of the outlet they need to be plugged into, but these don’t provide much speed.
Setup
Most Netgear Wi-Fi extenders have easy-to-follow instructions for connecting to your router. Some can even be set up with just one button. If there are any issues, Netgear has a wealth of troubleshooting information on its website.
What to look for in a quality Netgear Wi-Fi extender
Speed
Speed is the fastest service a single device can experience when connected to the Netgear Wi-Fi extender. For example, one extender may offer 1-gigabit-per-second speeds, while another may offer 500 megabits per second. Make sure your extender has the same or higher max speeds as what you pay your internet service provider for.
The best Netgear Wi-Fi extenders typically offer 1Gbps top speeds.
Ethernet ports
Most Netgear Wi-Fi extenders include Ethernet ports. These ports are used to physically connect your devices to your internet service. Physical connections are more stable, making them more important for activities like online gaming and streaming than surfing the web.
The best Netgear extenders offer up to four ports while the smallest, weakest extenders usually have none or one.
How much you can expect to spend on a Netgear Wi-Fi extender
Netgear Wi-Fi extenders typically cost $20-$250. Basic extenders cost $50 or less but offer the slowest speeds. Spending up to $150 will get you good speeds and range, but you need to spend up to $250 for Netgear’s best extenders.
Netgear Wi-Fi extender FAQ
Are directional or omnidirectional antennas better?
A. That depends on your needs. An omnidirectional antenna pushes your Wi-Fi signal in every direction. It’s the optimal choice for covering as much nearby space as possible — such as an entire floor of an office or home. A directional antenna pushes the signal in one direction, and devices get a better signal the closer they are. This is the right choice if you’re trying to reach a specific spot, such as a distant home office or an outside guest house.
Will my internet be faster if my Netgear Wi-Fi extender has faster speeds than I currently have?
A. No. Your Wi-Fi extender’s max speeds only detail the fastest signal they can push forward. If your ISP gives you 1Gbps and your extender has a max speed of 1.5Gbps, it’s still only carrying the original 1Gbps forward. Conversely, if your ISP gives you the same speeds but your extender has a max speed of 500Mbps, then only 500Mbps speeds will be pushed to your distant devices.
This is why it’s important to buy extenders with the same or faster speeds as your ISP provides, or you’ll slow your connection at the edges of your home or office.

From small towns to big cities, every government across the U.S. was offered a slice of $350 billion in federal coronavirus relief funds to help shore up their finances, cover pandemic-related costs and invest in community projects.
Officials in 1,468 local governments effectively said “no,” turning away a potential total of $73 million, according to an Associated Press analysis of data compiled from every state. The declined money ranged from $177 for the one-person village of Monowi, Nebraska, to $3.9 million for DeWitt County, Texas, population about 20,000.
The city of West Alton, Missouri — a community of more than 500 at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers — turned down a potential $106,341 in federal aid. Though the rejected amount was almost half the size of the city’s budget, there wasn’t much discussion about accepting it during a city council meeting.
“The conversation probably lasted 15 seconds. Without having really any need for it, it wasn’t something we felt like we wanted to get in the middle of,” Mayor Willie Richter said.
Other small-town mayors and village administrators provided a variety of reasons for rejecting the federal money. Some thought they had no eligible uses for it. Others didn’t want the hassle of dealing with the federal bureaucracy, or were politically opposed to the financial aid approved last year by the Democratic-led Congress and President Joe Biden.
The AP’s analysis identified 1,460 small cities, towns, villages or townships that declined a potential allocation of $61 million. That amounts to about 5% of the nation’s roughly 28,000 small local governments, but just 0.3% of the total dollars allotted for those entities. Eight counties also have forgone a total of $12 million. No states or territories declined funds.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it was pleased with the overall response to the American Rescue Plan, which marked the first time it had distributed money to such a broad swath of governments across the U.S.
The program “was born out of an understanding that the economic effect of the crisis was being felt by jurisdictions of all sizes,” said Jacob Leibenluft, the Treasury’s chief recovery officer. He added: “The vast, vast, vast majority of recipients saw a need to use these funds.”
The pandemic relief money began flowing to governments one year ago.
Data released by the Treasury show that, as of the end of 2021, a total of 1,756 states, territories and larger cities and counties had budgeted about $106 billion of the initial $208 billion they received. That money helped expand high-speed internet, assist residents with housing costs, provide aid to small businesses, shore up depleted unemployment funds and pay for public health initiatives and government services, among other things.
The Treasury hasn’t released data yet on how smaller governments used the money.
A second payment for local governments could come from the Treasury as soon as this month. But smaller governments that rejected the initial payment aren’t eligible for the second round — a source of regret among at least some local officials.
The Village of the Branch, on New York’s Long Island, probably could have used the federal aid to improve the village hall, pave streets or repair water drainage systems, Mayor Mark Delaney said. But that wasn’t clear to Delaney and other village board members when they declined the funds before New York’s decision deadline in August. At that time, the eligible uses seemed limited and the federal reporting burdensome, Delaney said.
Under a final Treasury rule issued in January, the village could have used its entire $183,149 allotment for almost any government services. But by then, the village’s share already had been reallocated among other local New York governments.
“Because you did the right thing and you responded quickly, you basically lost out on an opportunity,” Delaney said.
The Treasury Department said it worked with states and associations for local governments to simplify the application process, clarify the rules and encourage participation.
Larger governments that got paid directly by the federal government had no deadline to accept the money. Among smaller communities, some had more time to make decisions than others.
States were in charge of passing along funds to so-called “non-entitlement units” of government — generally cities with fewer than 50,000 residents. Once a state received that money, it had 30 days to distribute it. But some states requested as many as eight monthly extensions from the Treasury, pushing their deadlines into 2022.
The board of Algoma Township, Michigan, voted last July to decline its $1.3 million allotment.
“We’re very liberty-oriented, and we didn’t want to be stuck as a township with any kind of strings attached or mandates,” said township Supervisor Kevin Green, who considers the federal aid a waste.
But as Michigan kept extending the response deadline — and township officials learned that their share would be redistributed to others — Green and some of his colleagues had a change of heart. They ultimately accepted the money. Though they haven’t spent it yet, it could help offset the rising costs — due to inflation — of planned park improvements, he said.
“As conservative as we are, we’re also practical,” Green said.
Minnesota, which has a more extensive township form of government than most states, had the greatest number of governments declining to apply for the federal aid. More than 500 local governments — about one-fifth of its “non-entitlement units” — turned away a potential total of $11.8 million.
“We did everything we could to publicize this. We made a huge effort,” said Steve Fenske, general counsel of the Minnesota Association of Townships. But “we certainly don’t have full engagement. So some of them didn’t know it was going on.”
The Treasury’s online procedures posed a hurdle to some smaller governments, said Irma Esparza Diggs, senior executive and director of federal advocacy for the National League of Cities.
“If you’re unfamiliar with the federal grant process and what the reporting requirements are, the assumption is that it’s all going to be too complicated, and it’s always easier to give the funding back than to figure it out,” she said.
The chief executive of DeWitt County, located between Houston and San Antonio, said he turned down the federal aid because the county already had enough cash for its budget. He also raised concerns about the federal program.
“It seemed pretty selfish to manufacture a need to apply for federal dollars that are borrowed on the backs of the children and grandchildren of our county constituents,” DeWitt County Judge Daryl L. Fowler, a Republican, said in an email to the AP.
The upscale community of Brier, Washington — with fewer than 7,000 residents — turned down the largest amount among cities, at more than $1.9 million. The city north of Seattle has a small staff that includes a police force and public works crew. But it has no sewage treatment plant, mental health facilities, cultural centers or low-income housing.
“We just don’t have a lot of the things that ordinarily cities would have to use the funds for,” Mayor Dale Kaemingk said.
As the lone resident of the northern Nebraska village of Monowi, Elsie Eiler runs both the town tavern and town government. She didn’t want the “mess” of dealing with the federal government.
“The town is doing fine,” she said. “If it comes down to it and it needs some funds, I’ll put some in myself.”

The Western world, perhaps for the first time faced with a lie of this magnitude, still cannot believe it – how can this be possible in the 21st century?
Different countries and continents viewed Russia differently before the war, but what is happening in Ukraine has not helped them all to converge in this view. How much more blood will have to be shed before the world finally sees the true face of Russia?
From rivals to enemies
According to a Pew Research Center poll at the end of March, as many as 70% of Americans considered Russia, an enemy of the US. Before the war in Ukraine, in January, only 41% felt this way. Which side do Americans support now? One does not even need to ask – 72% of those polled expressed their preference for Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and only 6% for Vladimir Putin.
Indeed, the confrontation between the US and Russia, or rather the then Soviet Union, was at its most pronounced during the Cold War, with hostilities that were accompanied not only by the space race but also by nuclear arms tests. The older population has probably not yet forgotten how, as schoolchildren in the Soviet Union, they used to practice who would be quickest to put on a gas mask if the Americans launched an atomic bomb, although the real source of danger was much closer – Russia, which performed the liberation of peoples by way of occupation, had also succeeded in freeing most people from critical thinking.
Today, people who lived with gas masks during the Soviet era have a unique opportunity to experience the eclipse of the mind that is accompanying Russia – not only Putin and his inner circle, but also the whole country is spinning in a distorted reality.
The US has a mixed attitude towards Russia: it condemns the Kremlin regime and calls for an end to hostilities as soon as possible, but it cannot understand Russia. When you live in a democratic country, where government officials are elected in a transparent manner, where there is an opposition and where people have freedom of speech, it is difficult to understand how, on the other side of the Earth, all these things do not exist because they are simply not possible. It is not only the values or the cultural background that are different but also the attitude towards fundamental human rights. Putin’s Russia demonstratively disregards any of the norms of the civilised world and uses the breaking of these norms as a weapon against both its own society and other nations.
European countries – pragmatic relations
Even before the war in Ukraine, Europe’s relationship with Russia was based on mutual benefit rather than friendship, with Russian pipelines encircling Europe to meet its energy needs. More than half of the gas used by Germany comes from Russia, so a sudden shut-off of the pipeline tap would be a shock to the entire economy.
Meanwhile, Europeans’ attitudes towards Russia have steadily deteriorated, with a particularly drastic change after 2014. According to the Pew Research Center, 50% of Germans had a positive view of Russia in 2010, while after the events in Ukraine in 2014, the number of those who supported Russia was 19%. A similar situation has happened with France, from 53% positive in 2011 to 26% in 2014.
Researchers note that Europeans who express support for Russia tend to be those who also favour right-wing populist parties. This means that those who are sympathetic to conservatism, monarchism, nationalism, and fascism are also generally supportive of Russia in this direction. It is paradoxical how Russia, which is supposedly fighting against the neo-Nazis today, has itself become a new symbol of Nazism.
It would seem that Germany, which still bears the stigma of the First and Second World Wars, should keep its distance from Russia and its influence, but the Stockholm syndrome is at work here, where the bond that has developed between the hostage and the hostage-taker no longer allows us to discern the differences that exist between them. If you talk to an ordinary German, you will hear that Ukraine could make some „concessions“ to Russia, give up the territories Russia wants and declare a ceasefire as soon as possible, just for the sake of everyone’s continued well-being. On what basis such prosperity would be based is another question, which the Germans do not want to touch.
Meanwhile, Italy’s favouritism towards Russia, especially after the humanitarian aid it received in 2020 to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, can only be justified by its entrenched mafia traditions – in their eyes, Putin is like the boss of the world mafia. Indeed, the way the Kremlin regime operates is similar to the structure of the mafia, with the perpetrators of crimes being untouchable and all state institutions subordinated to their interests. Today, the creation of Russia as a state is simply the integration of the mafia into the state. And this has been going on for years. The only thing that prevents Mr Putin from gaining the respect of other countries is that he is seen as a president of a state and not as a mafia boss.
The interesting historical point is that, until then, Russia’s actions in Georgia, Chechnya, Abkhazia, and other regions were viewed with caution by Europeans, „nobody knows what it was really like there“, the war in Ukraine has shaken this leitmotif to its roots. Now the Western world, looking at the past through the prism of Ukraine, is beginning to see that the scenario staged by Russia is repeating itself – the same unjustifiable killing of civilians, the carpet bombing, the attempts to intimidate and impose its rule on the territories it has seized.
As far as other European countries are concerned, their attitude towards Russia depends very much on their relationship with the Soviet Union. Here we have a large Eastern European flank, which has suffered directly from the „liberation“ organised by the Russians, and which is therefore in a position to assess Russia more realistically and much more harshly.
Lessons from the former USSR countries
The countries that were part of the Soviet Union are more inclined to have a negative view of Russia for reasons that do not need to be explained. It was only after Russia went to war in Ukraine that most of the Western world realised that the „Russians are attacking“ narrative, which the Baltic States had repeated for a long time, was not a joke after all.
If there were those in Lithuania who thought that it was better „under the Russians“, they must have been quickly „cured“ when Russia started the war in Ukraine. The war has galvanised Russian oppositionists, and now local figures are openly analysing how complex, difficult and yet how different their country is from the Western model of world civilisation. Russians still do not know who they are or what they are doing.
Meanwhile, we know because, during the Soviet period, we were quietly told, in whispers, the dark side of Russian history – the deportations, the nationalisation, the broken lives and destinies of whole generations. Today, these stories, much louder and more widely disseminated, are needed not only by us but also by the rest of the world, which still does not believe in Russia’s brutality. After all, common sense cannot be explained simply by asking the question „why“; the answer does not exist or is blatantly false. The bitter experience we have can be useful to the West if it is willing to listen at last.
For the time being, unfortunately, the main argument remains blood – and the more of it there is, the more attitudes towards Russia will change. Let us remember how the images of Bucha shocked the whole world, and then other news from the war front did not have the same effect. But does the world really need blood to wake up? If so, how much more will it take?

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Howard Katz, who has been involved with NFL media for nearly two decades and has helped drive the popularity of the league to new heights, was selected Thursday as the recipient of the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame presents the award annually in recognition of longtime and exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football. Katz will be honored during Hall of Fame week in August in Canton, Ohio.
“I cannot think of a more deserving recipient,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Quite simply, the NFL would not be where we are today without Howard Katz.”
Since joining the NFL in 2003, Katz has served as chief operating officer of NFL Films and currently serves as senior vice president of broadcasting and media operations, overseeing the formation of the league’s schedule and the selection of primetime games.
Katz said he has “always tried to do right by everyone. I tried to look through other people’s lenses and gauge how they react.”
Pro Football Hall of Fame president Jim Porter noted that last season 24 of the top 25 broadcasts for national ratings were NFL games.
"This reflects the work and foresight Howard and his team put into the overall schedule,” Porter said. “And they create the marquee primetime matchups without sacrificing what football fans also can enjoy in the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. slots each weekend. This has always been important to Howard.”
A graduate of Colgate University, Katz broke into television in 1971 as a production assistant at ABC Sports and worked the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, “Monday Night Football,” and “Wide World of Sports.”
In 1993, he became ESPN's executive vice president of production and helped the network launch ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPN Radio, ESPN International, ESPN Classic and the ESPY Awards.
Six years later, he returned to ABC and revived the “Monday Night Football” franchise with the hiring of John Madden.
“Somewhere in your life, you want to work for Howard Katz,” Madden said in a tribute video to Katz upon the Livingston, New Jersey, native’s induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2014.
In 2003, Katz joined the NFL to run NFL Films and also helped create the league’s successful flex-scheduling model that further built interest in the primetime matchups. This year he's helping the league evolve its streaming offerings through its partnership with Amazon.

About 25% of Americans will need to delay their retirement due to inflation rising, a new survey showed.
BMO Harris Bank conducted its poll from March 20 to April 25.
It found that, due to prices rising on everyday products, younger people’s retirement funds will be affected the most.
More than half of people between the ages of 18 and 34 said they’ve had to reduce contributions to their savings.
About a third of Americans have reduced how much money they put into their savings and about one-fifth have reduced their retirement savings, according to the survey.
Experts who were part of the survey recommend people seek advice from a financial expert on how to successfully manage personal finances and maintain momentum toward their financial goals. | https://www.tmj4.com/news/national/inflation-causing-25-of-people-in-us-to-delay-retirement-survey-shows | 2022-06-02T20:07:48Z | https://www.tmj4.com/news/national/inflation-causing-25-of-people-in-us-to-delay-retirement-survey-shows | false | null |
PONTOTOC, Miss. (AP) — A county official in northeastern Mississippi is free on bond after a weekend arrest for speeding and a felony drug charge.
Pontotoc County Fifth District Supervisor Gary Dan McKnight was arrested early Sunday by Mississippi Highway Patrol officers on charges which include felony possession of methamphetamine and four misdemeanors — speeding, careless driving, no driver's license on demand and driving under the influence, MHP Master Sgt. Joseph Miller said.
McKnight was driving his county-owned pickup truck when arrested, authorities said.
Bond on the drug charge was set at $5,000, while bond on the other charges totaled $1,400, The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported. McKnight, 49, was released about two hours after his May 29 arrest.
McKnight is currently in the third year of his second term as county supervisor of District Five. He first took office in January 2016. His status on the board, which leads county government, was not immediately available. A telephone call to a listing for McKnight went unanswered. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Mississippi-county-official-faces-felony-drug-17215718.php | 2022-06-02T20:09:03Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Mississippi-county-official-faces-felony-drug-17215718.php | true | 10 |

The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has to congratulated for the manner in which they celebrated the centenary of Northern Ireland with the massive parade in Belfast on Saturday.
This was one of the largest parades ever with members of the Orange Institution and the 130 odd bands on parade and while a large crowd of spectators was expected no one could have envisaged the numbers that turned out to watch this parade which took nearly three hours to complete.
The only crowd of people that could have compared to this would have been the City Hall Rally in 1985 in opposition to the Anglo / Irish Agreement.
If Congressman Richard Neal and his delegation of not neutral but Irish Americans had taken the time to witness such a parade then perhaps they would have a better understanding of our true Ulster British heritage and why we will never consider ourselves to be anything other than Ulster British citizens .
As expected the shambles that called itself a government at Stormont couldn’t have the Union flags flown at Stormont Buildings to mark the centenary but they will have no problem accepting the financial aid which keeps the Stormont assembly functioning.
Again many congratulations to the Orange Order for such a wonderful day.
To Richard Neal and his united Irishmen: go back to the United States and take a history lesson and you will find it was the Ulster Scots who founded your great country not the Irish.

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." That's a common phrase many of us like to use repeatedly throughout the summer months in Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. While it has become somewhat of a running joke for summer in the midwest, it does bear some truth. A 90-degree day with low humidity is bearable, if not downright pleasant. However, once we start to get into July, August, and even a good chunk of September and the humidity starts to creep its way in on a consistent basis, being outdoors for any amount of time can be miserable. It gets sometimes gets so bad, that it's not uncommon for the National Weather Service to issue excessive or even oppressive heat warnings for our area. Sometimes walking outside feels like walking into a steam room. You can almost feel yourself inhaling the moisture in the air. The kicker to all of it is that outdoor activities also ramp up during the summer months because of the rise in temperature, which can lead to potentially life-threatening conditions if you're not careful. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620348952667/stay-safe-this-summer-while-boating-and-swimming | 2022-06-02T20:16:52Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2620348952667/stay-safe-this-summer-while-boating-and-swimming | false | 8 |

PENDLETON -- Pendleton Heights coach Alan Holden has announced his retirement after leading the Arabians boys cross country team for the past 35 seasons.
“It is difficult for me to retire from coaching after so many years," Holden said in a statement. "I have loved being the boys cross country coach at PHHS. I want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to accomplish a life-long dream of coaching. I also appreciated having my daughter work as an assistant coach in the final years of my career. I will miss it, but it is time.”
The 15-time Hoosier Heritage Conference coach of the year leaves behind a long list of accomplishments that will be difficult for anyone to match.
During his tenure, Holden’s teams have been Madison County champions 19 times, conference champions 15 times, sectional champs nine times and regional champs six times. Additionally, he has taken 24 teams or individuals to the semistate and has had 40 individual runner compete in the IHSAA state finals. Of those 40 runners competing at the state meet, seven went on to become Indiana All-State and one was a state champion.
Plans to recognize Holden for his accomplishments will be announced by the PH athletic department at a later date.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better coach leading our young men in cross country," athletic director Chad Smith said. "We can count how many championships Coach Holden won, but we can’t count how many lives he made a difference in over his time. I wish Coach Holden the best in the future and know that I always have a loyal Arabian on my side." | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/sports/high_school_sports/holden-retires-as-ph-cross-country-coach/article_bcc30e10-e2a4-11ec-a523-a32904a9ebcc.html | 2022-06-02T20:17:08Z | https://www.heraldbulletin.com/sports/high_school_sports/holden-retires-as-ph-cross-country-coach/article_bcc30e10-e2a4-11ec-a523-a32904a9ebcc.html | false | 1 |
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A Green Bay woman accused of killing and dismembering a man must stand trial.
WLUK-TV reported that Brown County Court Commissioner Paul Burke ordered 24-year-old Taylor Schabusiness to stand trial following a preliminary hearing Thursday.

According to a criminal complaint, Schabusiness told investigators she and the victim were using drugs, including meth, and engaging in sex when the man was strangled. She then dismembered his body, and placed body parts in various locations in the home and a vehicle.
Schabusiness is due back in court on July 5 to enter a plea. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Woman-accused-of-dismembering-man-bound-over-for-17215549.php | 2022-06-02T20:19:29Z | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Woman-accused-of-dismembering-man-bound-over-for-17215549.php | false | null |

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As reported in Packaged Facts just-released Durable Dog and Cat Pet Care Products (May 2022), heightened spending on pets, including durable pet products as well as pet foods and consumables, is the result of two overarching factors.
The first is affluent households accounting for most pet spending. The second is the nearly universal "pets as family" mindset. Tellingly, toys are the best-selling durable pet product category.
U.S. retail sales of durable pet care products for dogs and cats reached $7.9 billion in 2021, up from $6.5 billion in 2020. During the 2016-2021 period, the durables market experienced an 8.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). According to report author Shannon Brown, much of the growth occurred in the final two years of the period, with sales climbing 18% in 2020 and 20% in 2021 due to pandemic dynamics.
Long a key market driver behind the pricier fare underpinning much of the pet industry's dollar growth, higher-income households have been better equipped to handle the coronavirus, including by being broadband-connected and able to work from home, able to shelter at home comfortably due to larger living spaces, and able to tap into savings and other financial fallbacks as the need arises.
Even before pandemic-related financial insecurity, loss of human contact, and anxiety over personal health increased Americans' dependence on pets for companionship and comfort, a large majority of pet owners considered their pets to be full-fledged family members. In Packaged Facts' January 2022 Survey of Pet Owners, 92%-96% of pet owners agreed that they "consider [their] pets to be part of the family."
On top of being family members, pets are at the heart of the home for most pet owners. Among dog owners, 90% agree that pets are central to their home life, with 87% of cat owners and 85% of other pet owners agreeing to the same. This level of devotion indicates how thoroughly pets have been incorporated into the daily lives of pet owners, impacting not only what they purchase but what they do and where they go. The increasing importance of pets in the home has a pronounced impact in the durable pet products market, where so many of the products can be considered household furnishings or expressions of personal style, such as beds, bowls/waterers, and crates/pens.
The "pets as family" attitude has grown to such an extent that it is now accepted as a given among both pet owners and marketers alike.

(KTLA) — The first presumptive case of a monkeypox infection in Los Angeles County was confirmed by L.A. County Department of Public Health officials Thursday.
The case is still awaiting final confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a news release from the LADPH.
The patient, described only as an adult resident, apparently traveled recently and had a known close contact with another monkeypox case.
The person is symptomatic but is doing well and has not been hospitalized. The person is being isolated from others, the news release stated.
Officials said the risk of monkeypox to the general population remains very low.
“Monkeypox is very different than COVID-19,” Dr. Jonathan D. Green told KTLA. “This disease has been around for decades … it typically requires close contact or sometimes intimate contact between people. It’s not a disease that spreads in casual settings.”
Earlier this week, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, the World Health Organization’s top monkeypox expert, said she doesn’t expect the hundreds of cases reported to date to turn into another pandemic, but acknowledged there are still many unknowns about the disease, including how exactly it’s spreading and whether the suspension of mass smallpox immunization decades ago may somehow be speeding its transmission.
In a public session on Monday, Lewis said it was critical to emphasize that the vast majority of cases being seen in dozens of countries globally are in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men, so that scientists can further study the issue. She urged those at risk to be careful.

New Jersey environmental protection officials said Thursday they hope to have a law that guards communities from overbearing pollution in full effect by the end of this year.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed the law in September 2020 in Newark, but rulemaking, public comment and other procedures have yet to be completed.
Officials with the state Department of Environmental Protection said they hope to approve rules spelling out the details of the law by Dec. 31, which would mark the point where the law was fully implemented.
In the meantime, DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette has issued an administrative order requiring current and future projects to comply with its spirit and goals.
He said the order has the practical effect of “placing us where the rule ultimately would.”
Murphy signed the law in order to prevent communities — often low-income, minority neighborhoods — from having to bear the brunt of too many sources of pollution.
“This is a big deal,” LaTourette said during a briefing for reporters on where the law currently stands. “We have wrestled with those hard questions. We believe we have landed at the right place.”
Because it is not yet in full effect, the law does not directly affect one of the most hotly contested environmental justice cases in the state, the proposed addition of a backup gas-fired power plant at a sewage treatment facility in Newark's Ironbound section.
That neighborhood already suffers from multiple sources of pollution from nearby power plants, an international airport, numerous highways and heavy truck traffic through residential neighborhoods.
LaTourette said he would not prejudge the application, which is already being considered by his agency.
But he and other DEP officials said there are steps that the power plant and other applicants could take to lessen pollution in the area, including in places off their own property.
In January, the governor directed the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission to pause a plan to build the largest part of a $180 million backup power plant, designed to kick in when the main facility is knocked offline.
The commission has proposed measures including the adoption of “state of the art” pollution controls that go beyond the state’s own requirements.
The commission says it will only run the backup power plant during emergencies and for basic maintenance only; in a year in which no emergencies occur, the backup plant would operate for a maximum of 12 days a year.
The commission also has dropped a plan to use the backup power plant on days of high electric demand, which it says will eliminate 700 hours of operation. It also says it plans to install “all of the technically feasible solar power it can.”
It also plans to convert from natural gas to cleaner fuels as soon as that becomes feasible, including the use of battery power.
The backup power plant is designed to avoid a repeat of what happened during Superstorm Sandy in 2012, when nearly a billion gallons of raw sewage flowed into nearby waterways when the plant went offline due to a lack of electricity.
The commission says that without the backup plant, the streets of the Ironbound section could be awash in raw sewage during a serious storm that knocks out power to the sewage treatment facility.
LaTourette predicted numerous legal challenges to the law once it takes full effect.
"Lawyers will build entire careers on splitting its hairs," he said.

The City of Chestermere Council gave second and third reading to the 2022 Off-site Levy Bylaw on May 17.
The city currently has water, sanitary, storm, transportation, and recreation as off-site levies.
During the May 3 Public Hearing for the Off-Site Levy Bylaw, Senior Engineer Community Growth and Infrastructure Mark Ruault explained from the off-site levy model, growth numbers, capital projects, and approved infrastructure off-site levies, the city calculated a weighted average based on the land that’s going to be developed within the next 25 years.
“It varies depending on where you are in the city. There’s a significant increase in the rate charged for the development industry for projects outlined,” Ruault said. “It ranged between an increase of 4.2 per cent, and 60 per cent, on average was about 30.4 per cent increase on the weighted average.”
For areas with stormwater, there was a significant increase from 2021 to the proposed 2022 levy, with a weighted average per centage increase of over 230 per cent.
Following the public hearing, city administration met with developers and discussed a working group to implement cost savings for off-site levy projects, concerns regarding significant yearly increases, a 50 per cent reduction from the stormwater levy rate increase, a 50 per cent rate reduction increase from transportation and stormwater, or the possibility of a true-up with the city.
“Developers were supportive of working together to try and save money. They don’t want it to be the city and consultants coming in and meeting with them, they want it to be a true partnership with developers, engineers, and contractors to come to the solution,” Ruault said. “That’s directly in line with what we were thinking, we’re really aligned with the development industry on this, everyone is on side, and that’s a great opportunity.”
Developers had concerns about significant year after year cost increases, although they were in agreement with the model, and agreed they had to pay their fair share of off-site levy costs.
Developers believed that a 50 per cent reduction in the stormwater levy rate increase was a reasonable balance between current and future developers, however, administration received mixed reactions about the 50 per cent rate reduction increase from transportation and stormwater.
“It was right down the middle on doing both,” Ruault said.
Developers also had concerns with the true-up option, as it didn’t align with their current business model and financial sales process.
“Their concern was additional administration burden on them and the city. They want to make sure they are seen as transparent, and they are paying their fair share,” Ruault said.
Ruault believed the 50 per cent reduction on the stormwater levy increase was the best option.
“It really comes down to working with developers, being seen as pro-development, and having massive increases. If someone comes to invest in your community, and you change the rates by 40 per cent in one year and don’t give them any time to adjust, that’s something you can’t weigh,” Ruault said. “It’s fair and reasonable it’s just a little hard because of the rapid increase. Taking it down, taking the sting from 40 per cent to 25 per cent gives me confidence. We want to make sure this is a development-friendly community. It’s a right balance.”
The stormwater off-site levy increase option would phase in the increase, provide more consistency to the change in the rates, provide time for the development industry to adjust and ensure the right amount is collected from developers.
“It would balance. We still want to grow and be open for business. With the stormwater, I do think there is some real innovation and savings there,” Ruault said
“I believe there are efficiencies to be established in working with the developers and their experts, trying to obtain better pricing, and trying to get the developers to actually fund and proceed with the upgrades as opposed to the city doing it,” Mayor Jeff Colvin said. | https://www.theanchor.ca/2022/city-to-give-developers-time-to-adjust-to-off-site-levy-increases/ | 2022-06-02T20:43:35Z | https://www.theanchor.ca/2022/city-to-give-developers-time-to-adjust-to-off-site-levy-increases/ | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Thursday that children under 5 may be able to get their first COVID-19 vaccination doses as soon as June 21, if federal regulators authorize shots for the age group, as expected.
White House COVID-19 coordinator Aashish Jha outlined the administration’s planning for the last remaining ineligible age group to get shots. He said the Food and Drug Administration’s outside panel of advisers will meet on June 14-15 to evaluate the Pfizer and Moderna shots for younger kids. Shipments to doctors’ offices and pediatric care facilities would begin soon after FDA authorization, with the first shots possible the following week.
Jha said states can begin placing orders for pediatric vaccines on Friday, and said the administration has an initial supply of 10 million doses available. He said it may take a few days for the vaccines to arrive across the country and vaccine appointments to be widespread.
“Our expectation is that within weeks every parent who wants their child to get vaccinated will be able to get an appointment,” Jha said.
The Biden administration is pressing states to prioritize large-volume sites like children’s hospitals, and to make appointments available outside regular work hours to make it easier for parents to get their kids vaccinated.
Jha acknowledged the “frustration” of parents of young children who have been waiting more than a year for shots for their kids.
“At the end of the day we all want to move fast, but we’ve got to get it right,” he said. | https://www.fox21news.com/news/national/white-house-1st-shots-for-kids-under-5-possible-by-june-21/ | 2022-06-02T20:46:10Z | https://www.fox21news.com/news/national/white-house-1st-shots-for-kids-under-5-possible-by-june-21/ | false | 42 |
What men and women REALLY say after sex – and you’ll never guess what ladies demand first…
MEN and women often say “I’ve got to go” straight after sex, a survey found.
Blokes are also warned “Don’t fall asleep” while the classic line “Did the earth move for you?” is no more.
Asked what they say straight after a romp, a simple “Wow!” was tops for men with “You’re amazing” the most common phrase for woman.
Next for fellas was a respectful “When can we do that again”?”
That was followed by a less romantic “I’ve got to go” — which also appeared at seventh place on the women’s list.
For the ladies, the warning about falling asleep came second, then “Give me a cuddle”.
“Where’s my phone” appeared in the top ten for both sexes, according to the poll of 2,000 adults by dating website IllicitEncounters.com.
Jessica Leoni, sex and relationship expert with IllicitEncounters.com, said: “What we say straight after sex says so much about the state of the relationship.
“Most couples in long-term relationships say very little because they are often going through the motions and the sex is the same every time.
“What is more revealing is what is said in new relationships when you are still really into each other and the sex is exciting. You can tell when a person’s interest is waning by their muted response at the end of sex." | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8953573/what-couples-really-say-after-romps/ | 2022-06-02T20:48:00Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/fabulous/8953573/what-couples-really-say-after-romps/ | true | 4 |
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Naval Air Station Jacksonville is the largest Naval base in the Southeast region and the third-largest in the United States.
As Jacksonville celebrates its bicentennial anniversary in 2022, News4JAX dug into the history of this key strategic air station for this brief look at its origins, operations during the world’s largest conflict and the astronomically one-sided vote that made it all happen.
A public referendum
In the summer of 1939, Japan had already invaded China and in just a matter of months, Hitler’s armies would invade Poland, thrusting the world into a second world war.
Though it would not joins the war initially, the U.S. government was working to bolster its coastal air defense, having identified Jacksonville as a prime location for a new, naval air station.
“They were looking for a place to put pilot training,” NAS Jacksonville historian Ronald Williamson said. “They also needed to pace near water there so they could train in the big seaplanes - and they also wanted a place where they could get carriers in so they could off the coast of where we’re going to place the base.”
After congressional approval, it was up to a local referendum of Jacksonville voters to decide whether to bond the land out to the U.S. Navy.
Though the special election day saw rainy skies in Duval County, 92% of voters turned out to cast a ballot, of which, 98% voted to approve the bond issue.
The National Guard operations that had been on the NAS Jacksonville site were relocated to Clay County, and the new base was called Camp Blanding Joint Training Center. NAS Jacksonville was officially commissioned on Oct.15, 1940.
Full speed ahead
The main operation at NAS Jacksonville as the U.S. entered World War II was the training of naval aviators.
Pilots would begin training on the N2S Stearman biplanes and later graduate to PBY Catalinas and SNJ Texan aircraft for more strategic water or attack missions.
At its peak in 1944, there were roughly 1,000 aircraft on the base and there were two take-offs and landings every 60 seconds.
To facilitate the training, more than 30 satellite bases were drafted into operation including sites at Cecil Field, St. Augustine Airport, Green Cove Springs, Mayport and many others.
“A lot of the little small regional airports that you hear about today; St. Augustine’s airport, Fernandina beach’s airport, the airport up at Jekyll Island, the Lake City field, they took Lake City Airport,” said Williamson.
More than 10,000 pilots and 11,000 crewmen earned their gold wings at the station during World War II.
Prisoners of war
Near the end of the war, NAS Jacksonville also served as a holding center for more than 1,600 prisoners of war in German uniforms.
The first of the POWs arrived at the air station on June 4, 1945. Under the supervision of the Army commanders at nearby Camp Blanding, NAS Jacksonville was used as overflow for the main POW holding facility in Clay County.
Life on the base was comparatively comfortable for POWs held in America, as U.S. policy was to treat prisoners of war with equal quality as servicemen. Sports, entertainment, religious leaders and even a german chef were available to the captives.
Those POWs were put to work in captivity as well, with work assignments including the construction of a golf course construction, maintenance and engineering work, and a railroad spur line removal.
“American farmers still needed help harvesting because we were fighting a war in Japan at least until September,” said Robert Billinger, historian and author of “Hitler’s Soldiers in the Sunshine State.” “The labor priorities of the American government were, of course, first on military reservations, and that’s why they work places like Jacksonville or Blanding.”
Billinger said the U.S. Government realized that POWs could serve a dire domestic need.
“Generally speaking, the military found that they didn’t have as many civilian laborers, carpenters, machinists, garbage collectors, food, supply people, etc, on the bases as they had before the war because those people had often been drafted, and so they needed to fill those ranks somehow,” Billinger said.
For their labor, the POWs were compensated with spendable currency in the camp, while the labor costs were paid to the U.S. government for the lease of POW labor.
By May of 1946, the last of the POWs were released from the base and transported back to Germany.
After the war
After the surrender of Japan, World War II was over and the U.S. government was tasked with scaling down its military.
“Just like any big war, Congress decided, ‘Hey, it’s time to start downsizing the military. We don’t need this massive military that we have that we just won the war with,’” Williamson said. “So they began downsizing and getting rid of bases all across the United States.

Tottenham's double transfer swoop still raises Daniel Levy question for Antonio Conte
TOTTENHAM have already announced Ivan Perisic with Fraser Forster also set to arrive.
Tottenham have been the most active in the early stages of the postseason in bringing in new signings with Fraser Forster set to follow Ivan Perisic through the door. But neither deal will truly test Daniel Levy's reported promise to fully back Antonio Conte in the transfer market.
Perisic has signed on a free transfer after running down his contract at Inter Milan and Forster will also join for nothing. The free agent market is set to be utilised by a number of teams with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Paul Pogba, Paulo Dybala and Andrea Belotti among those set to be out of contract.
Dybala is once again being strongly linked with a move to Spurs after his failed move to north London back in 2019. But reports have indicated that Conte will be financially backed in the transfer market to bring in the players that he wants.
It's been claimed that Conte and Fabio Paratici will be given full control on transfer proceedings. Perisic may well be a deal Conte pushed for to help bolster his squad ahead of next year's Champions League.
JUST IN: Barcelona 'working to complete two-year loan deal' with Tottenham
But the Italian will also want to improve his starting line-up in both defence and midfield to help push higher up the table. A host of players have been linked with big-money moves to Tottenham, but none have materialised so far.
It's still very early in the postseason with the transfer window not officially open yet. But given that all clubs fighting at the top of the Premier League are also fighting to make big moves in the transfer market, Tottenham may need to make their moves quickly.
Reports have indicated that Conte wants all his new signings in place before the pre-season tour in South Korea next month. That leaves little over four weeks for Tottenham to get all their business done and will test whether Levy can stay true to his word in offering financial backing to Conte.
DON'T MISS
The former Inter Milan boss has now committed himself to the club for the summer, but he's flirted with leaving on several occasions already. Keeping Conte sweet may well cost Tottenham a record-breaking transfer window.
But to make that step up and compete at the very top of the Premier League, Spurs will need to spend money in improving Conte's squad. It's still expected that at least one central defender will be signed along with a midfielder and another forward.
It's also likely that a full-back will be signed on either wing, depending on whether Sergio Reguilon and Emerson Royal are sold. Tottenham have already made their moves ahead of the transfer window opening, but Conte will want more of the same in the coming weeks. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1620057/Tottenham-transfer-news-Daniel-Levy-Antonio-Conte-gossip-Ivan-Perisic | 2022-06-02T20:51:35Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1620057/Tottenham-transfer-news-Daniel-Levy-Antonio-Conte-gossip-Ivan-Perisic | true | 1 |

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. (AP) — Sweden’s Ingrid Lindblad shot the lowest round by an amateur in the 77-year history of the U.S. Women's Open, a 6-under 65 that gave her the early lead Thursday at Pine Needles.
“She was fearless,” said playing partner Annika Sorenstam, Sweden’s most famous female golfer.
Because she’s an amateur, Lindblad wouldn’t be able to collect the record $1.8 million first-place prize if she holds on to win the event. She would have had to declare as a professional before the tournament began.
When asked if, in hindsight, that was a mistake, the 22-year-old LSU junior known to her friends as “Iggy" paused and said with a smile, “I’m going to stay in college for like another year or so."
“But when you say it, yeah... it would have been fun to win a little bit of money,” she said.
Australia’s Minjee Lee and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist both shot 67 in the morning, and are two strokes behind after the early tee times. Several golfers remained on the course.
Lindblad finished tied 30th at 6-over 292 in her only other U.S. Women’s Open appearance in 2020.
She set the tone for a strong opening round in Southern Pines by winning the Southeastern Conference individual championship in April after making a 38-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole.
“I played really good at SECs, and then at nationals I didn’t really get anything to drop,” Lindblad said. “I hit it good but I didn’t make any putts. I feel like that was the difference then to today. I just had fun out there.”
Three amateurs had previously shot 66 — Carol Semple Thompson in 1994, Brittany Lincicome in 2004 and Gina Kim in 2019.
Lindblad said she had no idea she'd broken the amateur record until her coach told her as she was walking off the course.
When Lindblad, who is known for her long drives, is not crushing it down the fairway, she finds peace doing puzzles.
“Like at least a thousand pieces,” she said. “Puzzles, because it’s a great distraction. I just get in the zone when I do puzzles.”
She was in the zone from the start on Thursday.
While she only hit eight of 14 fairways, she just needed 26 putts to complete the round. Her only hiccup was a bogey on the par-5 10th hole. But she made up for it with seven birdies, getting a first pump from Sorenstam after draining a putt on hole No. 2.
Catherine Lacoste, the daughter of French tennis player Rene Lacoste and 1927 British Ladies Amateur champion Simone Thion de la Chaume, was the only amateur to win the U.S. Women’s Open back in 1967.
Lindblad didn't balk at the chance to become the second.
“Yeah, it's possible,” she said.
“She’s really impressive,” Sorenstam said. “I think people see her as a long hitter, but I’m sure you saw her today, some of those chip shots she hit, especially here on 18, that was not an easy one. She just kind of stood there, really good touch, and she putted beautifully today, good speed. I was really impressed.”

GTA Online players can do a whopping 31 Contact Missions for Martin Madrazo. That's a great deal of options to consider for gamers who wish to grind them during an event week, so it's worth looking at them in greater detail. Most of them can be done solo, meaning that players don't have to bother with finding randoms or contacting their friends to participate in the missions.
These missions vary in terms of Rank but are generally low enough that most GTA Online players can do them. There is a good amount of mission variety in them, so they're not as repetitive as some other Contact Missions like Ron's, which is a good thing.
Here is every Martin Madrazo Contact Mission in GTA Online
The main reason why some players care about knowing every Martin Madrazo Contact Mission is because of an event week that boosts the pay received from completing the missions. The event week happens semi-frequently in GTA Online, so a list containing all the missions is a useful one to have for future reference.
The above video only shows off his Dispatch Missions — it's quite lengthy — just to give an idea of how many missions he has.

Here is a list of every Martin Madrazo Contact Mission in GTA Online:
- Artificial Scarcity
- Check Out Time
- Cleaning the Cat House
- Coasting
- Coveted
- Death From Above
- Defender
- Dispatch I
- Dispatch II
- Dispatch III
- Dispatch IV
- Dispatch V
- Dispatch VI
- Dry Docking
- Editor and Thief
- Effin' Lazers
- Extradition
- Grab Your Ballas
- Handle With Care
- Holed Up - Burton
- Judging the Jury
- Mixed Up With Coke
- On the List
- Out of Court Settlement
- Rooftop Rumble
- Show Me the Monet
- Stick Up the Stickup Crew
- The Los Santos Connection
- Time to Get Away
- Trash Talk
- Water the Vineyard
The only Martin Madrazo Contact Missions that can't be done solo are:
- Dispatch I
- Dispatch II
- Dispatch III
- Dispatch IV
- Dispatch V
- Dispatch VI
- Effin' Lazers
Players don't have to do every mission; they can choose to farm a single one they like.
How to undertake Martin Madrazo Contact Missions in GTA Online
Story continues below ad
New players might not know that they can access every mission without waiting for a specific text. To do so, they must first do the following:
- Pause the game.
- Head to Online.
- Select Quick Join.
- Select Play Job.
- Select Rockstar Created.
- Select Missions.
- Select the relevant job you want to undertake.
Do note that any weekly bonuses will be displayed on the top right of these missions (such as 2x cash and RP). Knowing this could be helpful in the future, as players don't actually need to know the names of every job associated with a particular event week. Instead, they can just find any that give extra cash and RP.
Generally speaking, the missions with the highest ratings (around 80%) tend to be easier and less frustrating than those in the 50~60% range. Everybody's mileage may vary, but it's a good tip to know in case one doesn't want to look up guides and videos on all possible jobs.
Considering that there are 31 Martin Madrazo Contact Missions, the above-mentioned should help greatly. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/gta/list-martin-madrazo-contact-missions-gta-online | 2022-06-02T21:01:00Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/gta/list-martin-madrazo-contact-missions-gta-online | false | 1 |

TYLER, Texas (KETK) – The statewide average price of gas in Texas reached a new record high on Thursday, according to AAA.
The current average cost around the Lone Star State sits at $4.34, eight cents more than last week, and a whopping $1.63 more than a year ago.
Drivers in El Paso are paying the most at $4.54 per gallon while Lubbock is paying the least at $4.16. However, Texas is still doing better than most states.
The national average for a gallon of gas currently sits at $4.71, which is the highest ever recorded. AAA said in a statement the spike is being driven by “the oil market watching the possibility that supplies may become tighter as COVID lockdowns ease in China and the European Union will phase in a ban of most Russian oil products.”
“New retail gas price records continue to be set across the state as crude oil prices remain elevated due to tight supplies around the globe. Prices will likely continue to fluctuate with relief likely not coming until after the busy summer travel season concludes.”

Argentina 'fight like lions' for Messi, says Martinez
Lionel Messi is the "best in the world" and makes his Argentina team-mates like "lions who fight for him", says Emiliano Martinez, after the Paris Saint-Germain star skippered his side to Finalissima glory in a 3-0 win over Italy on Wednesday.
The veteran forward delivered another supremely assured performance in national colours - arguably one of his best for several years - as the Albiceleste dismantled the Azzurri in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley.
With the kind of turn that suggests Lionel Scaloni's side could leapfrog to the front of the pack as favourites for the Qatar 2022 World Cup later this year - the biggest jewel missing in Messi's crown - Martinez has explained just why his countrymen will do everything for him.

- Mohamed Salah's Premier League debut for Chelsea - Who were his team-mates and where are they now?
- Pulisic's fan frustration overshadows USMNT's near-perfect performance against Morocco
- Beckham, Henry, Ibrahimovic and the 10 biggest MLS signings of all time
What has Martinez said about Argentina's commitment to Messi?
"A year ago we were nothing and today we are [World Cup] candidates because we won titles," Martinez was quoted as saying by TUDN.
"We will always be candidates because we have the best in the world (in Lionel Messi).
"We are all lions who fight for him!"
What has Martinez said about the Finalissima?
Victory in the Finalissima - the informal name handed to the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions in its first season back for almost three decades - has been viewed by some as a lesser triumph than the Copa America, due to its super cup function.
But Martinez disagrees, and says that Argentina's win has showcased they are ready to compete again after a disappointing Russia 2018 campaign, adding: "It was an international title
"For us it was a final, we take it as officially endorsed by UEFA and it gives us a little more confidence. People said that we had not faced a great European team, they won the Euro and today we show that we are at everyone's level." | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/argentina-fight-like-lions-for-messi-says-martinez/bltdfeeba873ea3539e | 2022-06-02T21:05:46Z | https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/argentina-fight-like-lions-for-messi-says-martinez/bltdfeeba873ea3539e | true | 10 |

Destiny 2 sandbox discipline lead Kevin Yanes made no bones about his hopes for the rework of the Solar subclasses that recently went live alongside Season of the Haunted: "Ideally, it melts your face off," he said last week (opens in new tab). In today's This Week at Bungie (opens in new tab) update, however, Yanes acknowledged that Solar 3.0, as it's known, has not landed with sufficient spice.
"Initial reactions to Solar have not met our 'new thing that melts your face off' bar," Yanes wrote, and he's not wrong. The day that Solar 3.0 dropped, r/DestinyTheGame (opens in new tab) was flooded with threads about how the Dawnblade Warlock's options to play as support medic had been gutted, while Sunbreaker Titan mains bemoaned the changes to the way the Sunspot ability now worked.
Whilst those complaints, inevitably, were a little more shrieky than the situation warranted, Yanes acknowledged today that the rework wasn't sitting well with the sandbox abilities team which he leads at Bungie either.
"As we’ve said in the past through TWABs, socials, and other dev updates, we’d much rather ship something a little too spicy than something bland that makes a bad first impression," he continued. "I think with Solar 3.0, we landed somewhere in the middle, and the team feels very passionately that this is the wrong place to be."
In response, Bungie is making a number of changes and fixes that will go live next week.
Solar Warlock:
- Heat Rises - Added behavior: Consuming your grenade now also releases a burst of Cure x2 around you, healing you and your nearby allies. Consuming a Healing Grenade increases the strength of the burst to Cure x3 and consuming a Touch of Flame Healing Grenade provides Restoration as an additional benefit.
- Icarus Dash - Added behavior: While airborne, rapidly defeating targets with your Super or any weapon Cures you.
- Celestial Fire - Each Celestial Fire projectile now applies 10 Scorch stacks. This is increased to 15 stacks with Ember of Ashes equipped.
Solar Titan:
- Burning Maul - Buffed damage in PvE by 25%
- Roaring Flames - Added behavior: While Roaring Flames is active, your uncharged melee attack now deals Solar damage and applies 30 Scorch stacks to targets per hit. This is increased to 40 stacks with Ember of Ashes equipped.
- Consecration - Fragment slots increased from 1 to 2, raised the height of the secondary attack’s ground wave by 25% to more easily catch players who jump too late.
"That’s no small list of changes," Yanes wrote. "The team takes feedback seriously—we’re players ourselves, so when things don’t land, we also feel that internally. To say it out loud, a hotfix of this magnitude comes at the cost of other changes, so to set expectations here, the team is unlikely to take another balance pass until much later this Season. It’s important to our team that on top of doing amazing new things, we maintain a healthy work-life balance and this patch necessitates some breathing room."
"Short-term gain for long-term pain" is definitely a choice, but one that Bungie has made previously: In early 2021 it delayed The Witch Queen expansion (opens in new tab) into 2022, "primarily for the health of the team." In December 2021, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons formally apologized (opens in new tab) to "anyone who has ever experienced anything less than a safe, fair, and professional working environment at Bungie," following a report into sexism, toxicity, and a crunch-heavy culture at the studio.
Yanes also noted that next season's Arc 3.0 rework is "still cooking up nicely," but warned that the abilities team will likely "go dark for a little while" once it's live. | https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-admits-destiny-2s-solar-30-did-not-melt-anyones-face-off/ | 2022-06-02T21:06:50Z | https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-admits-destiny-2s-solar-30-did-not-melt-anyones-face-off/ | true | 4 |

DETROIT (AP) — A judge declined to put a former Detroit police chief on the Republican ballot for Michigan governor, the third candidate to lose a court challenge after election staff said campaign petitions were marred by fraudulent signatures.
It’s a remarkable setback for James Craig, who has high name recognition in southeastern Michigan and retired as Detroit’s top cop last year to make his first run for office.
Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher said she must abide by a Michigan appeals court decision released Wednesday that kept two other Republicans, Perry Johnson and Michael Markey, off the Aug. 2 ballot.
Gleicher’s opinion, dated Wednesday but released Thursday, also cited other reasons.
There appears to be no dispute that fraudulent signatures were turned in by paid circulators, though there’s no evidence that the candidates were aware of the scam. In a court filing, attorneys representing the Board of State Canvassers called it an “unprecedented situation.”
The candidates were declared ineligible last week as the result of a tie vote by the board. State election staff said Johnson, Craig, Markey, Donna Brandenburg and Michael Brown didn’t meet the 15,000-signature threshold because of fraudulent signatures.
In Craig’s case, election staff said he appeared to have only about 10,200 valid signatures after subtracting 9,879.
He argued that the state had an obligation to go line by line, comparing signatures to the eligible voter file before striking them. Only 20% of the suspicious signatures were formally checked.
But the appeals court said that wasn’t necessary.
“The board … had a clear legal duty to investigate, but it did not have a clear legal duty to conduct a comparison of each fraudulent signature against the qualified voter file,” the court said in a 3-0 opinion in Johnson’s case.
The Michigan Supreme Court is the last hope for the candidates. Timing is crucial: The state said it needs to complete the ballot by Friday.
Five other Republican candidates have landed a ballot spot, including Tudor Dixon, a former conservative TV news host who has the backing of Betsy DeVos, who was head of the U.S. Education Department during the Trump administration.
Kevin Rinke, a former owner of Detroit-area car dealerships, said he’s prepared to spend at least $10 million of his own money. He has promoted himself in TV and digital ads.
The winner will face Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the fall.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The white gunman who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket pleaded not guilty Thursday to hate-motivated domestic terrorism and other charges as a prosecutor called the evidence against him overwhelming.
A lawyer entered the plea for Payton Gendron, 18, who didn't speak during a brief hearing with a heavy security presence.
Witnesses, police and Gendron's own writings and livestreamed video incriminated him as the gunman who used an AR-style semi-automatic rifle to target shoppers and employees of a Tops Friendly Market, which authorities said he chose because of its location in a predominantly Black neighborhood. All 10 people killed in the May 14 assault were Black.
"There is overwhelming proof of the defendant's guilt," Assistant District Attorney John Fereleto said. "The defendant was caught at the scene of the crime with the weapon in his hands."
Gendron has been held without bail since the shooting and is due back in court July 7.
He was charged with murder shortly after the attack. On Wednesday, a new indictment expanded the case to include a domestic terrorism charge that carries the potential for an automatic life sentence, along with 10 counts of first-degree murder, 10 counts of second-degree murder as a hate crime, criminal possession of a weapon and three counts of attempted murder as a hate crime.
"When you hear the phase 'throw the book at' someone, well, in this case right here, the defendant just got 'War and Peace,'" District Attorney John Flynn said at a news conference after the arraignment.
The domestic terrorism hate crime charge — officially, domestic acts of terrorism motivated by hate in the first degree — was added to state law just two years ago, after a mass shooting targeting Mexicans at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas. In Gendron's case, the charge accuses him of killing at least five people "because of the perceived race and/or color" of his victims.
Outside court, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown called Gendron "a racist, hate-filled outsider who came to our community with the stated intent to kill as many Black people as possible."
Prosecutors said Gendron drove about three hours to Buffalo from his home in Conklin, New York, to target African Americans. Shortly before opening fire, he posted documents that outlined his white supremacist views and revealed he had been planning the attack for months.
Federal authorities also are investigating the possibility of hate crime charges against Gendron.
The slain victims ranged in age from 32 to 86. Three other people were wounded.
The bloodshed, followed 10 days later by a mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers inside an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, has renewed a national debate about gun control.
Meanwhile, a 911 dispatcher was fired Thursday after being accused by a Tops employee of hanging up on her during the rampage. The dispatcher, who was put on administrative leave two days after the shooting, was terminated after a disciplinary hearing Thursday, Erie County spokesperson Daniel Meyer said.
A message seeking comment was sent Thursday to a spokesperson for the dispatcher's union. The dispatcher told The Buffalo News late last month that she was sorry about what the caller went through during the shooting, adding that more facts would come out at the hearing.

- Besides driving range, a lack of public EV charging infrastructure is cited as a significant reason buyers don’t consider purchasing an electric vehicle.
- Two companies, Electrify America and Charge Stack, are starting to roll out concepts of charging stations that offer more amenities and a place to wait while plugging in on the road.
- We’ve already seen a similar model deployed in Europe, with Audi playing a prominent role in building reservation-based charging lounges for its customers.
Few would claim that electric-vehicle charging has reached its full maturity, and concern about finding a place to plug in is still a deterrent to increasing the EV’s market share. Deloitte’s 2022 Global Automotive Consumer Study revealed reasons for not considering a battery-electric, and prominently cited by US car buyers were “driving range” (20%, the largest concern in the survey) and “lack of public electric vehicle charging infrastructure” (14%).
Electrify America (EA) is trying to change the public charging picture. It has 800 stations and 3500 individual chargers in the US, and provided 1.45 million charging sessions in 2021. With origins in the “dieselgate” settlement, this Volkswagen division says it will have 1800 stations and 10,000 individual chargers by 2026.
Part of the current problem is that consumers regard the charging we do have as inconvenient and sometimes poorly located, as well as suffering from technical problems and a lack of nearby amenities. In March, EA released an expansive design vision for future charging stations that should address some of the most frequently heard criticisms. The vision will become reality this year and in 2023 at locations in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, San Diego, and Beverly Hills, California; and in both Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York.
Anthony Lambkin, senior director of operations at EA, told Autoweek the company already has additional amenities such as solar awnings at existing locations, including in the charging hub of Baker, California. The Baker location is off Interstate 15—a well-traveled road that connects Los Angeles and Las Vegas. A Denver location is working on a dog park. The San Francisco location, opening later this year, will be the first station of the future, complete with a lounge.
New York’s two installations are likely to be relatively small, given real-estate costs. “Manhattan is a black hole for charging currently, but there’s a massive need,” Lambkin said. “Our fast-charging site will be in midtown.”
As EV sales take off, public charging is ready for its makeover. “This is a chance to reinvent the charging experience,” Lambkin said. “Gas stations are set up for a quick in-and-out, but we have longer dwell times—though they are getting shorter—for EV charging. Even at 10 or 20 minutes of waiting we need a new type of retail experience, leapfrogging what you’d expect to see at a gas station.”
Features of the new stations in addition to solar include waiting areas and lounges, event spaces, security lighting, valet charging and curbside delivery options, and as many as 20 redesigned DC fast chargers with up to 350-kilowatt capacity. Lambkin said food and beverage options with prospective partners are under consideration. The company hopes to have five to 10 of the new stations open in the next couple of years, he said. Beyond the US, Canada is also slated to get future stations.
Startup The Stack Charge is also focusing on California for its own vision of an expanded EV charging station with amenities. The first location, with 40 fast chargers, is on 1.29 acres, also in Baker. The opening is planned for the end of 2022 or early 2023.
Co-founder and serial entrepreneur Lawrence Fung told Autoweek, “We’re trying to improve the customer experience. People find the current charging network to be extremely inconvenient. It’s an amenity that primarily serves what’s already there, like a mall. We plan to have elevated quick-service retail, including restaurants that might serve healthier food. We are trying to avoid the usual rest-stop suspects. If we are going to offer burgers, they have to be something different. We think that’s in line with the demographic of EV owners.”
Fung’s partner, real-estate developer Lester Ciudad Real, said the station will be on a “very utilized corridor, which doesn’t have enough charging stations now. We anticipate demand to skyrocket as EVs continue to dominate the market.” In addition to the chargers and healthy fast food, the 2500-square-foot Baker location will have an outdoor plaza, Wi-Fi and 24/7 restrooms.
Real said Stack Charge plans to expand in Southern California, then into the northern part of the state. “We’re also very bullish on Las Vegas,” he said. “We are looking to acquire sites that have strong real-estate fundamentals and benefit from high-transit traffic.” Other locations under consideration include Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Texas. The plan is to have 10 locations up in 18 months.
Stack Charge will not, at least initially, build its own chargers, but will “white label” existing units, Fung said, adding that electricity prices will be competitive. “We’re not looking to gouge people on charging.” | https://www.autoweek.com/news/a40156968/ev-charging-lounges-plugging-in-experience/ | 2022-06-02T21:13:05Z | https://www.autoweek.com/news/a40156968/ev-charging-lounges-plugging-in-experience/ | true | 1 |
POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — Authorities are investigating after 15 Union Pacific train cars derailed near Pocatello Thursday morning.

Corrie veterans Helen Worth and Antony Cotton receive MBEs for Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
CORONATION Street became a land of soap and glory last night — as veterans Helen Worth and Antony Cotton received gongs for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The overjoyed pair are among dozens of entertainers — including MasterChef hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace — honoured to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne.
Helen, 71, said she was “delighted” to get an MBE after playing Gail Platt on the ITV soap for almost 48 years.
She said: “To be honoured for doing something I have enjoyed so much for so many years is truly wonderful, and I am particularly delighted to receive this award in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year.”
Antony, 46, who made his debut on the cobbles as Sean Tully back in 2003, said he was “overwhelmed” with the same gong as Helen — for his acting and charity work with troops.
In July last year he met the Queen when she visited the Weatherfield set to celebrate the show’s 60th anniversary. Antony dedicated his award to our war heroes, saying: “I am completely overwhelmed by this honour, especially as it has come during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
“I share this award with every single person who has ever fought for our country - I am incredibly humbled and honoured to be in your company. Thank you for your service.”
Meanwhile, MasterChef judges Gregg and John told of their shock and pride at being awarded MBEs. South London-born Gregg, 57, said it felt like he was living in a “fairytale”.

'Glittering reign'
The former greengrocer said: “Wow - fruit and veg has been a very good friend to me over the years. What an unbelievable honour it is to be recognised by Her Majesty at such a fabulous moment in her glittering reign.
"From a council estate in Peckham to being recognised by the Queen is for me something akin to a fairytale story. I am incredibly, incredibly proud.”
Aussie-born John, 56 added he was “humbled and very grateful” for his honour. The pair have been hosting MasterChef since its revival in 2005, and its huge success has sparked popular spin-offs across the globe as well as celebrity and junior versions.
John said: “I am truly thrilled, humbled and very grateful and I’d like to thank those who nominated me for this great honour of an MBE. To be put forward and recognised for services to the food industry and broadcasting which I have worked in for over 40 years is a very proud moment for me and my family.
Another to get a gong is Total Eclipse of the Heart singer Bonnie Tyler, 70. The Welsh singing legend, who has been belting out tunes for five decades, said her MBE shows that “anyone from any background can become a success” after successfully belting out tunes for five decades.
As we revealed in The Sun on Sunday, Homeland star Damian Lewis, 51, receives a CBE. The actor, whose actress wife Helen McCrory died of cancer last year, carries out work for a string of charities and organisations.
Fashion designer Stella McCartney, 50, and philanthropist Elisabeth Murdoch, 53, were also both handed CBEs. Sports broadcaster Clare Balding, 51, said it is “overwhelming to be recognised for doing things I enjoy so much” as she is also made a CBE.
Meanwhile, Birds of a Feather star Pauline Quirke, 62, is made an MBE. Other winners include Call The Midwife creator Heidi Thomas, 59, who said her OBE will be going “straight on the mantelpiece” in Nonnatus House, the fictional convent in the hit TV show she created.
From a council estate in Peckham to being recognised by the Queen is for me something akin to a fairytale story.
Gregg Wallace
Grime rapper and director Andrew Onwubolu, 32 also gets an OBE — and told how it made his parents proud. His film Blue Story - about a London gang war - was pulled from cinemas in 2019 after violence broke out in a number of screenings.
He said: “It really makes me feel like everything I’ve done has hit a target and it’s rising and rising, and to me it’s only the beginning - it’s only the start. But it does give you that push and what it’s done personally is, on top of that, is that when I told my parents, they were really excited. It was really good because it made them happy as well, so that was nice.”
The Platinum Jubilee Honours recognise famous names from the worlds of the arts, sport, politics as well as unsung heroes in local communities.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “This historic Platinum Jubilee is not only a celebration of the monarch but of the qualities she possesses.
“The honours she confers this week reflect many of those qualities that have been invaluable from all different walks of life and to communities across the UK. I pay tribute to all of this year’s winners. Their stories of courage and compassion are an inspiration to us all.”
A record proportion of Queen’s Birthday Honours are going to women with the percentage this year - 51.5 per cent - slightly higher than the previous record of 51.2 per cent set in 2015.
In a nod to Prince Charles, the Queen handed a key member of her son’s team a top honour. Clive Alderton, principal private secretary to the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, has been made a Knight Commander of the RVO.
Sir Clive first joined their household in 2006. He was briefly appointed the UK’s Ambassador to Morocco in 2012 and served three years in the post before returning as the prince’s principal aide.
AWARD FOR ANGELA, 104
UNSUNG HEROES
A 104-YEAR-OLD dance teacher is among the winners of a Jubilee gong.
Ballet dancer Angela Redgrave is one of more than 1,000 to receive a British Empire Medal in honour of her Majesty’s landmark moment.
Ms Redgrave, who started dancing at the age of ten and taught for seven decades said: “I feel very honoured.”
The youngest winners of the medal are 11-year-old twins Elena and Ruben Evans-Guillen from Warrington who raised £50,000 for NHS charities.
Also receiving a BEM were Royal British Legion stalwart Patricia Anne Husselbee, 80, from Newport, Wales, and Norwich community nurse Wendy Kimberley, who painted more than 60 portraits of NHS workers during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, pandemic heroes Prof Stephen Powis, the Medical Director of NHS England and AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot were awarded knighthoods in the honours list.
Top nurse Ruth May was made a Dame and Dr Raghib Ali, an Oxford University Hospitals consultant, received an OBE.

Police say Alfred Williams, 19, of Drexel Hill, Pa., was out in the water on May 31 with three other swimmers when trouble struck in the area of Andrews Avenue and the beach.
One swimmer made it out of the water and two others were rescued. Police say Williams has not been located.
The beach isn't fully staffed until later in June, and no lifeguards were on duty at the time of the incident,
Wildwood Fire Chief Ernie Troiano III said the swimmers were far beyond the usual distance from shore. He says it's likely the swimmers were caught in a rip current.
"One was at least 200 yards out. The other was probably about 125 or so yards out," Troiano said. "We immediately saw them; crews split up - one went after the one victim, another crew went after another victim. (They) brought them in on boards."
A friend described the moment he last saw Williams.
"He said they were trying to get back in. He was on the sandbar, and his friend was in front of him, and as a breaker came, he said he saw him, and then he didn't see him again," said Troiano of his conversation with one of the swimmers.
The three swimmers who made it out of the water are listed in stable condition.
At this point, the investigation has turned into a recovery mission.
According to the United States Lifesaving Association, an average of 100 deaths are caused by rip currents in the U.S. each year.
Swimmers are urged to never go in the water when there are no lifeguards present. | https://6abc.com/alfred-william-missing-wildwood-search-swimmer-jersey-shore/11919426/ | 2022-06-02T21:15:15Z | https://6abc.com/alfred-william-missing-wildwood-search-swimmer-jersey-shore/11919426/ | true | 1 |
MANKATO, Minn. — A Mankato man has been charged with felony assault after he allegedly threw a knife at another man during an argument in April.
The Mankato Free Press reported Wednesday that 39-year-old Brent David Steinkopf was charged Tuesday in Blue Earth County District Court with felony second-degree assault and gross misdemeanor fifth-degree assault.
According to the criminal complaint, the knife struck the man in the leg, leaving a one-inch puncture wound on his calf.
Steinkopf denied being involved and accused another person of stabbling the man. That person told police the man hit with the knife came into his apartment with a bleeding leg.

LONDON: Sky-high refining margins for diesel and gasoline in Europe and the United States, driven by a cutoff in Russian supply, has sent prices for some types of physical crude oil to all-time records according to traders.
The dearth of fuel in the major consuming countries just as the summer driving season in the United States kicks off has lifted asking prices near and above historic peaks for lighter and medium oil types from West Africa to the North Sea.
The sharp rises underscore a tight market and the difficulty of bringing down transport fuel costs, which have thrust inflation toward 40-year highs and triggered recession fears in the United States and some parts of Europe.
Offers for medium sweet Forcados Blend and Escravos crude from Nigeria have approached an $8 premium compared to dated Brent, traders said, their highest ever according to Refinitiv Eikon data.
The grades are easily refined into middle distillates like diesel. Qua Iboe , another type of Nigerian oil that is suitable for refining into gasoline, was on offer for an unprecedented dated Brent plus $6.
"Nigerian crude is being supported by gasoline and distillate shortages in general in Europe and the United States," a West African crude trader said.
Gasoline refining margins, also known as cracks, in Northwest Europe hit a new peak last week at just above $40 a barrel last week before edging down about $10 - still near highs last seen in 2015, with stocks there plunging a quarter or 250,000 tonnes on the week.
In the North Sea, Oseberg and Ekofisk differentials are at all-time highs, traders said, partly due to reduced loadings around maintenance in the latter.
Seaborne non-Russian barrels, including from Norway, imported into the Polish Baltic Sea port of Gdansk, have been on the rise as refineries in eastern Europe and Germany look for alternatives to Russian oil.
In the United States, gasoline-friendly light sweet U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose to its highest since March earlier this month.
Average diesel prices in the U.S. hovered around a record of $5.58 this month, up three quarters from last year, as the retail cost gallon of gasoline topped $4.37 - also a record.
"Gasoline and distillate (margins) are already coming off several dollars," one European refining source said. "So as soon as cracks have some correction, differentials should come off."

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Thursday threatened to sue the Biden administration over a Department of Agriculture school meal program that defines discrimination as based on sexual orientation and gender identity, while the department said it is working to get voluntary compliance before referring violations to the Department of Justice.
The Republican governor earlier this year pushed the state to become one of more than a dozen states to ban transgender athletes from girls' school sports leagues. At the time, some opponents to the proposal argued that South Dakota's law, which is set to take effect July 1, could imperil federal funding for the state's public schools.
Noem on Thursday claimed that the USDA was poised to withhold funds for school meal programs and issued a combative statement: “President Biden is holding lunch money for poor Americans hostage in pursuit of his radical agenda.”
The USDA announced earlier this month it would include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as a violation to Title IX, a sweeping 1972 law that guarantees equity between the sexes in “any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." But it was not clear whether the federal government would hold back funding for school meal programs as part of its enforcement.
The USDA responded to a question about whether it would withhold the funding by issuing a statement that said it is “rooting our discrimination in any form” and it will handle any discrimination of LGBTQ people as sex discrimination.
“Program operators who fail to comply will be in violation of civil rights laws and in breach of the agreements they signed in order to receive federal funds,” the department said. “At that time, USDA will interpret the prohibition through traditional compliance and discrimination complaint mechanisms, which could include up to referring the case to the U.S. Department of Justice.”
Noem's spokesman Ian Fury said the state would not file litigation at least until the USDA's final rule is published.
Meanwhile, other states that have passed laws banning transgender athletes have been challenged in court. Lawsuits have been filed against bans in Utah, Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/sports/article/Noem-threatens-suit-over-Biden-s-LGBTQ-17215841.php | 2022-06-02T21:28:18Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/sports/article/Noem-threatens-suit-over-Biden-s-LGBTQ-17215841.php | false | 12 |
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — From small towns to big cities, every government across the U.S. was offered a slice of $350 billion in federal coronavirus relief funds to help shore up their finances, cover pandemic-related costs and invest in community projects.
Officials in 1,468 local governments effectively said “no,” turning away a potential total of $73 million, according to an Associated Press analysis of data compiled from every state. The declined money ranged from $177 for the one-person village of Monowi, Nebraska, to $3.9 million for DeWitt County, Texas, population about 20,000.
The city of West Alton, Missouri — a community of more than 500 at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers — turned down a potential $106,341 in federal aid. Though the rejected amount was almost half the size of the city’s budget, there wasn’t much discussion about accepting it during a city council meeting.
“The conversation probably lasted 15 seconds. Without having really any need for it, it wasn’t something we felt like we wanted to get in the middle of,” Mayor Willie Richter said.
Other small-town mayors and village administrators provided a variety of reasons for rejecting the federal money. Some thought they had no eligible uses for it. Others didn’t want the hassle of dealing with the federal bureaucracy, or were politically opposed to the financial aid approved last year by the Democratic-led Congress and President Joe Biden.
The AP’s analysis identified 1,460 small cities, towns, villages or townships that declined a potential allocation of $61 million. That amounts to about 5% of the nation’s roughly 28,000 small local governments, but just 0.3% of the total dollars allotted for those entities. Eight counties also have forgone a total of $12 million. No states or territories declined funds.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it was pleased with the overall response to the American Rescue Plan, which marked the first time it had distributed money to such a broad swath of governments across the U.S.
The program “was born out of an understanding that the economic effect of the crisis was being felt by jurisdictions of all sizes,” said Jacob Leibenluft, the Treasury’s chief recovery officer. He added: “The vast, vast, vast majority of recipients saw a need to use these funds.”
The pandemic relief money began flowing to governments one year ago.
Data released by the Treasury show that, as of the end of 2021, a total of 1,756 states, territories and larger cities and counties had budgeted about $106 billion of the initial $208 billion they received. That money helped expand high-speed internet, assist residents with housing costs, provide aid to small businesses, shore up depleted unemployment funds and pay for public health initiatives and government services, among other things.
The Treasury hasn’t released data yet on how smaller governments used the money.
A second payment for local governments could come from the Treasury as soon as this month. But smaller governments that rejected the initial payment aren’t eligible for the second round — a source of regret among at least some local officials.
The Village of the Branch, on New York’s Long Island, probably could have used the federal aid to improve the village hall, pave streets or repair water drainage systems, Mayor Mark Delaney said. But that wasn’t clear to Delaney and other village board members when they declined the funds before New York’s decision deadline in August. At that time, the eligible uses seemed limited and the federal reporting burdensome, Delaney said.
Under a final Treasury rule issued in January, the village could have used its entire $183,149 allotment for almost any government services. But by then, the village’s share already had been reallocated among other local New York governments.
“Because you did the right thing and you responded quickly, you basically lost out on an opportunity,” Delaney said.
The Treasury Department said it worked with states and associations for local governments to simplify the application process, clarify the rules and encourage participation.
Larger governments that got paid directly by the federal government had no deadline to accept the money. Among smaller communities, some had more time to make decisions than others.
States were in charge of passing along funds to so-called “non-entitlement units” of government — generally cities with fewer than 50,000 residents. Once a state received that money, it had 30 days to distribute it. But some states requested as many as eight monthly extensions from the Treasury, pushing their deadlines into 2022.
The board of Algoma Township, Michigan, voted last July to decline its $1.3 million allotment.
“We’re very liberty-oriented, and we didn’t want to be stuck as a township with any kind of strings attached or mandates,” said township Supervisor Kevin Green, who considers the federal aid a waste.
But as Michigan kept extending the response deadline — and township officials learned that their share would be redistributed to others — Green and some of his colleagues had a change of heart. They ultimately accepted the money. Though they haven’t spent it yet, it could help offset the rising costs — due to inflation — of planned park improvements, he said.
“As conservative as we are, we’re also practical,” Green said.
Minnesota, which has a more extensive township form of government than most states, had the greatest number of governments declining to apply for the federal aid. More than 500 local governments — about one-fifth of its “non-entitlement units” — turned away a potential total of $11.8 million.
“We did everything we could to publicize this. We made a huge effort,” said Steve Fenske, general counsel of the Minnesota Association of Townships. But “we certainly don’t have full engagement. So some of them didn’t know it was going on.”
The Treasury’s online procedures posed a hurdle to some smaller governments, said Irma Esparza Diggs, senior executive and director of federal advocacy for the National League of Cities.
“If you’re unfamiliar with the federal grant process and what the reporting requirements are, the assumption is that it’s all going to be too complicated, and it’s always easier to give the funding back than to figure it out,” she said.
The chief executive of DeWitt County, located between Houston and San Antonio, said he turned down the federal aid because the county already had enough cash for its budget. He also raised concerns about the federal program.
“It seemed pretty selfish to manufacture a need to apply for federal dollars that are borrowed on the backs of the children and grandchildren of our county constituents,” DeWitt County Judge Daryl L. Fowler, a Republican, said in an email to the AP.
The upscale community of Brier, Washington — with fewer than 7,000 residents — turned down the largest amount among cities, at more than $1.9 million. The city north of Seattle has a small staff that includes a police force and public works crew. But it has no sewage treatment plant, mental health facilities, cultural centers or low-income housing.
“We just don’t have a lot of the things that ordinarily cities would have to use the funds for,” Mayor Dale Kaemingk said.
As the lone resident of the northern Nebraska village of Monowi, Elsie Eiler runs both the town tavern and town government. She didn’t want the “mess” of dealing with the federal government.
“The town is doing fine,” she said. “If it comes down to it and it needs some funds, I’ll put some in myself.” | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/local-governments-turn-away-73m-of-federal-pandemic-aid/ | 2022-06-02T21:29:09Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/local-governments-turn-away-73m-of-federal-pandemic-aid/ | true | 49 |

Even before the verdict came in, the six-week-long trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had ramifications beyond the courtroom. Experts were warning that anti-feminist groups were using the trial to mobilize and that defamation lawsuits were being used to silence survivors of domestic violence. Now that a jury has sided with Depp, advocates say the verdict could have a chilling effect on other survivors looking to speak out against their abusers.
"It just adds another barrier to what victims and survivors have to deal with, as they're determining how to get the support and safety they need," said Ruth Glenn, president and CEO of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
While there isn't a way to measure this, Glenn said there's a rolling, cumulative effect of silencing survivors when a domestic violence case is played out as entertainment. "It could be a number of things. It could be 'I've watched this court case. My family will mock me or make fun of me or not understand me.'" She adds that survivors may further be apprehensive about speaking out in fear of being accused of slander.
"You're already faced with fear. You want to come forward and seek support." But, she added "there's an element of, 'will I be believed?'"
The lawsuit itself was over a 2018 op-ed Heard wrote for The Washington Post, where she wrote that after she became "a public figure representing domestic abuse," she "felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out."
The piece has now been amended with an editor's note, noting the three specific phrases Heard was held liable for.
The six-week-long trial was broadcast live and offered a detailed and difficult look into their relationship. Depp said the Post article ruined his reputation in Hollywood and testified that it was Heard who was the abuser in the relationship. He described one instance where she threw a bottle at him, which cut his hand. Heard said Depp was routinely jealous and angry, and testified that he once sexually assaulted her.
As the drama played out in the courtroom, it drew millions of viewers watching live. On top of that, there was a deluge of accounts on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and more recapping the ins and outs of the trial, often painting Heard as a liar — both as part of the actual content and in the comments.
"The trial has turned into a public orgy of misogyny," wrote Guardian columnist Moira Donegan. "While most of the vitriol is nominally directed at Heard, it is hard to shake the feeling that really, it is directed at all women – and in particular, at those of us who spoke out about gendered abuse and sexual violence during the height of the #MeToo movement."
According to Variety, it's rare that a trial gets televised in Virginia. In this case, Judge Penney Azcarate made the call to allow cameras in due to the massive number of media requests she was getting. There was a certain spectacle to the whole thing. And everyone, including domestic abuse survivors, got to watch it happen.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, use a safe computer and contact help. That can include a local shelter, or call 911 or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

CMA Fest bans Confederate flag imagery to protect safety of fans, prevent discrimination
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The CMA Fest is prohibiting any Confederate flag imagery at its four-day festival, following similar bans at other country music festivals.
In a statement provided to The Tennessean, the Country Music Association said the decision to enact the policy this year was based on the personal safety of fans and to prevent discrimination.
"This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated," the statement said.

After a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual festival that began in 1972 returns to Nashville, Tennessee, starting June 9. The festival regularly attracts about 50,000 country music fans.
Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, this year banned Confederate flag imagery and any other "divisive symbols" and "racially disparaging" displays.

BERLIN (AP) — Authorities in Bavaria say they are releasing all previously unpublished files on the attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics following criticism from relatives of the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches who died there.
Joachim Herrmann, the top security official in the southern German state, said Thursday that Bavaria will no longer keep any files under wraps, but conceded that federal authorities might still hold confidential files.
The Palestinian group Black September took numerous members of the Israeli team hostage on Sept. 5, 1972, with the goal of forcing the release of prisoners held by Israel and two left-wing extremists in West German jails. Eleven Israelis and a West German police officer died during a botched rescue attempt.
Complaints about persistent secrecy surrounding the files had threatened to overshadow a planned memorial event for the 50th anniversary of the attack. Some relatives of those killed have also demanded compensation from Germany, something the government has rejected. | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/bavaria-releases-all-files-on-munich-olympic-massacre/ | 2022-06-02T21:32:43Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/bavaria-releases-all-files-on-munich-olympic-massacre/ | true | 40 |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — ESPN’s Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy are sidelined for Game 1 of the NBA Finals after testing positive for COVID-19.
Mark Jones, Mark Jackson and Lisa Salters will be the broadcast team for Thursday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors on ABC. As a result of the positive tests, an all-Black on-air game crew will broadcast an NBA Finals game.
Breen tested positive before last Sunday’s Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals in Miami and did not call that game. Van Gundy’s voice was hoarse during that game when he worked with Jones and Jackson.
There is a possibility that both Breen and Van Gundy could be back before Game 2 on Sunday night.
ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, who is on for pregame and halftime segments, also tested positive for COVID and is out. | https://www.chron.com/sports/article/ESPN-s-Breen-Van-Gundy-sidelined-for-Game-1-of-17215720.php | 2022-06-02T21:35:20Z | https://www.chron.com/sports/article/ESPN-s-Breen-Van-Gundy-sidelined-for-Game-1-of-17215720.php | true | null |
